Sweet potato and chicken curry
This creamy curry is a great example of British style Indian curries and quick and easy to cook at home. Not too spicy (unless you add extra chillies!) this will suit most palates with the fusion of flavours making the taste buds pop. Experiment with different cuts of chicken, swapping thighs for breast or wings to create a different version of this dish. Or if this all sounds too daunting, BritiShop have a delicious range of Indian Ready Meals available to order in.
