The quickest, easiest chicken curry recipe and a comfy chair, which you'll need after the curry!

[@tinab2236]

Made the curry tonight Helen. Was as delicious as you said. Thumbs up from us and our daughter and son in law x

[@Helenmaryjo]

Wonderful xx

[@maxinearmstrong6290]

have never heard of Aubergine pickle what can you use as alternativní chair looks so comfy

[@christinemalone]

I use Pataks paste pots in recipe very much like Helen’s, they make a lovely curry with chicken or vegetables. You can get korma , tikka masala or madras

[@heartscontent]

Me too.

[@Helenmaryjo]

It's sometimes known as Brinjal pickle, but it has a lot of flavour to it and somehow has a depth that you wouldn't normally get without marinating the meat. xx

[@janettesinclair6279]

I love that chair, beautifully demonstrated by Dolly and her assistants! And an amazingly simple chicken curry - another recipe to keep, thank you Helen.

[@Helenmaryjo]

My pleasure xx

[@BrendaSmith-cs4zn]

Looking forward to trying the curry, the chair looks great too x

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you xx

[@CrystalVibes4]

I’m wondering about what curry paste or powder was in the recipe ? Loved the chair xx

[@christinemalone]

There are spices in the aubergine pickle ( Pataks)

[@Helenmaryjo]

All the flavour comes from the pickle xx

[@annettescott5884]

That chair looks very comfortable, and well - Rob rocks! (Pun absolutely intended!😀) x

[@Helenmaryjo]

Haha, thank you xx

[@Helenmaryjo]

Glad you liked it xx

[@JillDoyle-t9g]

Can you put the name of the curry paste up please as didn't catch it Rob is gas so self conscious but up for helping you out all the same a nice man

[@Helenmaryjo]

It's an Aubergine or Brinjal Pickle. Readily available here in supermarkests, but there is also an Amazon link in the description box. He is a nice man indeed. xx

[@ElaineRodgers-gk2dp]

That is a belter of a chair!! Love it ❤

HB. Thanks, Helen, lovey chair and a good price. Curry looks inviting!

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you xx

[@ObsessedwithInteriors]

Nice looking curry but what was the paste in the jar?

[@Helenmaryjo]

It was aubergine pickle or Brinjal pickle in Indian stores. That's where all the flavour comes from xx

[@christinesmutek3856]

Got to love a nice quick easy curry recipe. We love it in our house too. Nice chair but it had no arms ?? Very classy and modern. I did laugh when Dolly got in on the action. ❤️🥰

[@Helenmaryjo]

No arms makes it ideal for a cuddle. Thank you xx

[@mollygg8901]

For anyone wanting to recreate the curry they sell that specific aubergine pickle in tesco,waitrose and ASDA

[@Helenmaryjo]

Yep, thank you xx

[@Barbara-yj5tl]

Apologies if it’s me that’s confused, you said it was chicken curry but I didn’t see any curry paste/spices go in?

[@suesimpson7625]

Yes I wondered the same thing…no curry spice? Also was that a jar of pickled egg plant…aubergine? Perhaps that has the spice in it? Sorry Canadian here and trying to figure out the equivalent ingredients available here.

[@ninaalagic7962]

Same here, where is curry?

[@corakearney8333]

The pickle includes curry❤

[@suesimpson7625]

@ thanks…did a bit more investigating and see we can get it under brand name Pataks in Canada.

[@maureencomley7909]

Hi Helen, I've never seen Auergine pickle before,I don't know if you can buy it in the depth of Scotland😀😂😂 I will look but what else can I use in its place please, , The chair looks to comfortable I'd never get out of it 😂😂

[@Helenmaryjo]

I honestly don't know. There is an Amazon link in the description box.... but I guess any spicy pickle would work. We just like this one xx

[@annemackle3625]

You can buy it in Tesco or any supermarket in Scotland.

[@shirleyhounsome8681]

I probably won't find aubergine pickle in Cyprus but is that where the curry spice is coming from ? x

Great idea for a quick curry and I'm so fed up with cooking this seems ideal. I've seen aubergine pickle often on tesco grocery webite . I like aubergine but always wondered what you would do with the pickle. Now I know!

Looks lovely Helen…it makes a good quick base for coronation chicken,I just add a half onion add the pickle then the cooked chicken..add a bit of fruit and mango chutney…😊♥️

[@Helenmaryjo]

Nice xx

[@Betsy1959]

Hi Helen I’m making this now, not sure if you used the whole contents of the jar, I can see you went back for more? I’m using 4 large chicken breasts. I really am hooked to your channel 😊

[@Helenmaryjo]

Hi Betsy, you can use as little or as much as you like. I'd say that you need to use enough to coat the chicken, but other than that it's flexible. More cream if it's too spicy for you, or more pickle if you like the heat. Thank you very much for your kind comment xx

[@Betsy1959]

Thank you Helen. It was delicious with just half the jar. Many thanks x

[@heatherdouglas-palumberi8297]

Fun video! Loved how Dolly wanted to be in the chair as well. She really wanted Rob’s attention - cuute! Hattie was so adorable with her Grandfather. ❤ So, here in the US was not familiar with use of pickled aubergines in a curry. Looked up Patak brand, and saw some surprises. Turns out that (as a culture) we have a less sweet taste for Indian food in our adaptions, both in restaurant and at home cooking. Plenty of sweetness in some things, but not with curry chicken here. For example, when I make Indian butter chicken in an Instant Pot, it is majorly savory and creamy with a hint of tomatoey tang sweetness. Fun learning how we are same and different! Thanks so much! It does look delicious!❤

[@Helenmaryjo]

It is yummy. Thank you xx

[@alygodsquad]

Wow Helen that dish looks so tasty and easy ! I'm definitely trying this - and you have an inspired a Christmas gift that my son can get me- that single standing induction hob is a great idea! Can you provide the link for your one please ? :) x

[@hazels27]

Hi Helen, yes the chicken curry looks easy to make - even I would be able to do it! Does the aubergine pickle have the curry element in it? I’ve looked at the link for Amazon and I think it is an Indian pickle so probably does. The chair looks very comfortable. Dolly was not going to be left out! Thanks for filming.

Wasn't sure if we can get aubergine pickle - on link was Pataks which we do have so looked it up $8.00 in NZ and creme fraiche $6.59 for 250gms. Chicken varies $7.75 400gms. Our NZ $ worth around half of the pound. Will have a go.

Pataks aubergine pickle is used for dips or an accompaniment to curry meal.

Yes, use more or less creme fraiche, depending on how spicy you like it. I find it has a kick to it, but not crazily so. xx
