One Pot Spicy Chicken Curry is a flavorful and hearty dish made with tender chicken, fragrant spices, and rich tomato-based curry sauce. It typically includes a variety of spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, which give it a warm and aromatic flavor. The chicken is usually sautéed with onions, garlic, and ginger, then simmered in the curry sauce until tender and juicy. Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and peas are also commonly added to the dish to provide additional texture and flavor.

The dish can be made as mild or as spicy as desired by adjusting the amount of chili powder or fresh chili peppers used. It is often served with basmati rice, naan bread, or roti, and garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley. One of the best things about this dish is that it can be made in just one pot, making cleanup a breeze.
