Clove, coriander, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, carom. Just some of the essential spices you need to make one of of our punchy, fragrant and delicious chicken curry recipes. Garam masala is a must, as are black pepper and cayenne pepper, for that welcome hit of heat. For the time poor, don’t stress: A hint of curry powder won’t go astray if you need a quick fix.

If you have time on your side, pound your own curry paste by hand à la Palisa Anderson’s gaeng keow wan gai. For a spicy-sour hit, the Chiang Mai curry sings with ginger and tamarind; or make for the ohn no khao swè if you like your chicken curries earthy, soupy and noodle-y. For something a little more mellow and mild, our riff on the classic butter chicken might be for you – Greek yoghurt gives the curry sauce a gentler, creamier heat for those who love a slow burn, almost like a Korma.

Whether you serve yours with naan or rice, or if you prefer coconut milk or yoghurt. Whether you like your chicken curry recipes spicy or mild, we have a one for you in this warming collection.

If you’re looking to bring the heat, check out our master collection of our favourite curry recipes.
