    Hi there :) I'm looking to make a really nice, not too spicy chicken curry for my mother but I have one major problem, she is extremely allergic to any peppers or chillis or anything that is derived from these such as paprika. I know its a long shot but does anyone have a recepie that won't involve these? thanks :)

    There's this thread: http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/food/745707-Chilli-free-curry-recipes/AllOnOnePage

    She's your mum so you know her allergies best so I don't need to tell you to be really careful, or tell you that the internet isn't the greatest place to take solid advice from!

    Nice recipe CA. I'd just be concerned that there may be chili in the garam masala. It probably would not be too big a deal for the OP to leave it out.

    there is usually no chilli in garam masala although recipes do vary :)
    there is black peppercorns though but only a very small amount per volume.

    Tesco Garam Masala ingredients:

    Cumin Seeds
    Fennel Seeds
    Ginger
    Dill
    Clove
    Celery seed.


    I usually make my own from this recipe but it does contain peppercorns

    That recipe sounds great sounds great :) I love kormas but there's usually some form of chilli or pepper in the jar sauces, I might cook that for her birthday! :)

    That is a good recipe :)

    If I was making it into a chicken curry,Id grill a chicken breast and serve the sauce over it. Some naans and rice and bobs your uncle :)
