Final Push Easy Chicken Curry

Easy Chicken Tikka Curry

Spicy food is often suggested as a means of bringing on labour, and many women swear by it. The theroy being that the spiciness can irritate the uterus and in some cases cause small contractions

This recipe is a version of Nadia Hussain's 'Easy Chicken Tikka Masala' recipe. It is much loved by the HotTea tea-m! It is family friendly, easy to make, and it's secret ingredient - cream of tomato soup, makes it lovely and saucy and a little bit sweet 

It freezes well, and can be made a couple of days in advance as a go-to Friday fake-away.

Enjoy it spiced up with extra chilli, or spicy chutney from 32 weeks, alongside a cup of our Final Push Raspberry Leaf Tea. It will not only help prepare for labour but the whole peppermint can also help to aid digestion, and ease heartburn
