When your kids taste are developing, I find that allowing them to explore the world through food is a wonderful way to “go on safari” or  “gaze at this Eiffel Tower” or enjoy a “picnic in the countryside”. The possibilities are endless.

Although I have never been to India, I have been to many amazing Indian restaurants while I lived in England. I loved our weekly curry nights, and every week I would try something new or order mine with a bit more eye-popping heat. Vindaloooooo!

My inspiration is obvious, but I seriously crave a good curry, so for dinner we are making our way to India!

Now, I have to be mindful of how much heat goes into my curry, thank you very much children, so I have a little system. For my older daughter, she will enjoy it pretty much as is, I just make sure she has plenty of water. Ha. For my sons, my youngest is fairly adventurous and will only eat the sauce and then there’s my middle child …. well, he’s the picky one! He likes the chicken WITHOUT any sauce, so my work around is that I just pull his meat out and carry on with the rest. There’s always one. 🙂

Overall, my kids enjoy the variety of foods and don’t complain too much. I’ve learned their favorites and I will adjust if needed, without making three different meals for each. Nope, not doing that. So I try to create a meal that will be enjoyed by us all.

This is really easy to make. If you are able and have the time, by all means – marinate the chicken longer or even overnight. If you can’t find a Madras curry paste, try making your own (click here for my Madras curry paste recipe), it’s easy and can be used for up to 4 tasty meals.

Now go get your curry on and ENJOY!
