Notes

Onion: You can use fresh or pre-chopped frozen
Curry paste: I use tikka masala but you could swap this for another one you have in or prefer, such as madras, jalfrezi or rogan josh
Chicken thighs: If you’d rather use thighs instead of breast, go ahead. Just be aware the nutritional value in the recipe will be different and they might need slightly longer cooking time
