This Spicy Chicken Curry with Cauliflower Rice comes together in about 30 minutes and is loaded with flavor!
I love a good curry. For years I would buy the curry sauce in a jar and pour it over whatever cooked meat or veggies I had on hand and serve it with some rice.
I finally decided this was the year I was going to attempt to make my own curry from scratch. It took me a few times to get it the way I wanted.
Finally! Here it is! 🙂
There’s many different types of curry. There’s green, yellow, and red. I prefer the red because it’s a little more spicy.
The beauty with this recipe is that you can make it as spicy as you want!
To me this chicken curry is more of a medium spicy. But hey if you want more spice just add more Cayenne Pepper!
I decided to use Cauliflower Rice instead of regular rice to keep the carbs down and make it a little more healthy.
Cauliflower Rice is super easy to make. Just toss the chopped Cauliflower into a food processor and pulse until it looks like rice. Then place it in a microwave dish and microwave for 4 minutes. That’s it!
