I un-bachelorized this a bit by ditching the microwave and browning the chicken in a pan with the curry powder, onions, garlic and ginger and then simmering it all in the sauce over medium heat for about 10 minutes. There wasn’t a whole lot of depth of flavor like the curry dishes that take hours to prepare, but for a tasty curry on the table in 20 minutes with minimal fuss and basic ingredients, this recipe is quite good.

I like to cook. I also like to breathe, look at myself in the mirror, and eat small vegetables. I work as a parsnip in my spare time and covet the cool side of the pillow.
