Curries are always a great dinner option when you are cooking for family, friends or batch cooking for the freezer. This chicken and tomato curry is so affordable and simple to make it’s perfect if you’re in a hurry! I love it served with brown rice and my potato, kale and pea curry (found here:http://www.nutritiouslynaughty.co.uk/potato-kale-and-pea-curry/) If you like your curry hot like me then you can stir in some dried chilli flakes at the end. This gut friendly recipe is low fodmap meaning it contains no onion or garlic, but it still has so much flavour!
