What changes can I make to this easy chicken curry 

  • Leftover turkey curry is one of the best things about Christmas week! Simply substitute turkey for the chicken
  • Or use any other leftover roast meat from a Sunday roast
  • Swap and change the vegetables, keeping the total quantity about the same.
    • use swede, carrot, parsnip, sweet potato, pumpkin / squash, frozen mixed vegetables etc
    • add a big handful of fresh or frozen spinach
  • Add a tin of beans, kidney beans, cannellini beans, butter beans or black beans. Juice and all

How to reduce the cost of this chicken curry 

  • Use white cabbage, it’s the cheapest vegetable 
  • Use oil instead of butter to fry the vegetables 
  • Omit the coconut 
  • Use curry powder in place of curry paste 
  • Replace the pepper with carrots 
  • You could even replace the meat element completely with a tin of beans, juice and all – this would also mean that your curry is vegan (if you use oil instead of butter)
