Hi all, I am Jyothi Rajesh, I write about easy and creative recipes on my blog, Curry Trail. My food is mostly influenced by my Indian roots. I live in Bangalore, India with my husband and 2 beautiful kids. After working several years in IT as software engineer, I quit my job to start my own company, offering Robotics training for children. Food has always been my passion and so I eventually forayed into food blogging, food styling and food photography.
A few recipes you will find on my blog are:
If you ask me, I say a nice real curry cannot be made using curry paste from a packaged bottle. The flavors, the spices that go in to making a good curry can be easily made at home using a handful of ingredients that you probably have already in your pantry. Freshly ground spices gives all the wonderful flavors and texture to the curry. And I highly recommend you use fresh ground ginger, garlic paste, and roasted and ground coriander and cumin powder in this Mixed Vegetable Chicken Curry.
Of course, when in a bind, any curry is better than no curry, so don’t beat yourself up for using a paste! Rachael has some great curry recipes on this site that use paste:
Or if you love Indian food, this Indian Butter Chicken Recipe or Easy Butter Chicken or Instant Pot Chicken Tikka Masala.
With this curry you can add any vegetables of your choice. For this Mixed Vegetable Chicken Curry, broccoli, carrots and potatoes pair well. You could also use cauliflowers, snow peas, and bell peppers too.
This Mixed Vegetable Chicken Curry is mildly spiced and the coconut milk gives that creamy texture to the curry. The fragrance from the spices, onions, and tomatoes masala base, makes a perfect family meal. Your mouth will be watering while it cooks, and you will be so excited to dig in.
Tips for flavor packed Mixed Vegetable Chicken Curry:
- Use and fresh roasted and ground coriander, cumin powder.
- I tend to like curries that are little spicy. If spicy curry is not your thing, please adjust the spice powders to your taste.
- Chicken pieces with bones gives a lot of flavor to the curry. I recommend you use chicken pieces with bones, preferably chicken thighs. Just remove bones before serving.
- You can marinate chicken pieces with salt and lemon juice before adding to the curry which gives a nice zing and makes chicken tender and juicy.

The mildest curry ever, no chillis or cumin which I noticed so added myself but it was still weak.
Jim Sullivan says
Not all Indian curries are spicy. Dishes from southern Indian are spicy and the father north you go the more mild the recipes.
