Easy peasy curry

Don't you hate it when someone blogs a recipe, and you're like "Wow, that sounds really good!", but then you look through the ingredient list and there's one random thing that you can pretty much guarantee is not in your pantry?

Well I am going to do that to you today.

But if you love curry, and you don't have time to cook, this is a LIFESAVER. It's so easy, you could make this on a weekday, after coming home late, and with a hungry boyfriend waiting eagerly for dinner. Oh yes. All you need is whatever you have in the fridge/pantry, and this:

S&B Golden Curry

S&B Golden Curry sauce mix comes in four difference degrees of spice. MM and I like to live on the edge, so we bought Extra Hot.

It's so easy to use, I didn't even bother taking pictures. I ended up dicing up some skinless boneless chicken breast (but you can use any meat, or no meat at all!), some carrots, onion, potato, and throwing it all in a big pot of boiling water. After the potatoes and carrots had softened, and the chicken was cooked (this took about 10 minutes), I removed the pot from heat and threw in the sauce mix.

This particular sauce mix comes in a solid cube that is easily breakable into 4 pieces, with 2 cubes per package. The directions say to use 6 quarts of water for each cube, but I just estimated, and ended up boiling off a little more water because my curry was too thin. They also said to brown the meat before throwing it in. PAH! I bite my thumb at directions!

After stirring for 5 minutes or so, I was done! Just spoon your curry over rice and VOILA! A one pot meal. (As the household dishwasher, that is very much appreciated.) Unless you count the rice. But I don't.

Not the best picture, but you get the idea.

YUM!

For two busy curry lovers, this is perfect! (Curry snobs...probably not.) Bonus: it makes a HUGE amount of curry. MM and I ate this for 3 meals, and I had an extra serving for lunch!
