4-Meal Prep: Cauliflower Chicken Curry

Curries are my favourite. The tanginess of the yogurt that I used as a substitute for the coconut milk typically used in curries and the spiciness from the chilli goes so well, it’s a typical Aqilah dinner in the house.

This recipe is also best served hot, with basmati rice and can be healthy alternative for the family.

Remember, when you make this as meal prep, let the dish cool completely in glass containers before covering it and storing in the fridge. This meal is also best to be consumed within 3 days as we’ve used dairy in this recipe.
