CURRY WARMER

This week our Upper Juniors learned how to make a simple chicken curry. We made a mild curry with one teaspoon of curry powder, cooked vegetables, and chicken pieces in a coconut milk. Students enjoyed this with steamed rice. Some students did a great job trying curry for the first time and experiencing the flavours altogether. You can adjust the level of hotness and add whatever vegetables you have available. Enjoy a family curry meal that is quick and easy to prepare.
