Chicken Curry with Green & Red Bell Pepper Recipe

I was never one for hot curries, so I used mild curry powder when preparing this. This is a lovely chicken curry that can be altered to the desired strength. Although there is a bit of cooking time involved it may not be the dish to make if you are in a hurry, however if you can commit yourself to an hour in your kitchen, with the results you will realise that it certainly is worth the time and effort.
