Chicken Masala Curry image

Though not necessarily authentic, this curry is as good or better than anything i've ever had in a restaurant. Pieces of meat and/or vegetable are simmered in a fragrant sauce thickened with onions, garlic and ginger. Great over rice or accompanied with a piece of warm naan bread.

This curry is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great recipe for meal prep because it reheats well. I like to make a big batch of this curry on the weekend and then eat it throughout the week.
