Ingredients( Chicken Curry with Carrots and Capsicum)
Chicken

Other Ingredients were
Chinese Carrots
Choose the perfect orange color one. Here regular red-colored carrots will not be used because they are sweeter and will not go well with other ingredients.
Capsicum
Bell pepper has an interesting taste and acts as a taste enhancer and core ingredient in Chinese-style recipes.
Onions
Here in this recipe onions were added to make the curry thickens.
Tomatoes
Fresh and juicy enough. Before cutting core out all tomato seeds.
Green chilies and Lemon were added to give a slightly spicy and sour taste to the curry.
Ketchup
( 1 small pouch of almost 150 grams) Here we will add ketchup because it will bring more texture and flavor to the curry. If you have fewer tomatoes in the kitchen then add 1-2 tbsp of more ketchup.
Other regular spices
Other spices include salt, red chili powder, and oil. Their exact measurement is written in recipe cards below.

Notes
- I have not added whole spice (clove cardamom, basil leaves) as we are not making a typical chicken curry recipe. Here our main ingredients are tomato and green chilies.
- In curry, if ketchup is not available then you may add 3 to 4 tbsp. of soya sauce as a substitution.
- If you want to add spice then only cardamom is the best option to use. Others may intensify the taste but here we need to make a blend of ingredients not to dominate a single ingredient taste.
- Don’t add curd or yogurt as it is a typical ingredient of traditional chicken curry recipes.
- In rice, you may skip the whole spice. It will not affect the taste.
- In rice, frozen veggies may also be used after letting them come to room temperature. Your recipe taste will be the same.
