A QUICK AND EASY CURRY THAT YOUR FAMILY WILL LOVE!

I have made this so much since i saw this air on one of Rachel Ray's 30 minute cooking shows.  My kids, ages 9-14 love curry as long as it's not too spicy and this isn't.  I don't use the cayenne in the spice blen but leave it on the table to be added to taste.  We use whole wheat pitas and sometimes garlic nan and a basmati rice or whole wheat texmati.  I plate the rice,curry over that and bread warmed in the microwave to the side.  Traditionally the bread is used to pick up the curry rice mixture.  My kids love to stuff the pitas,cut in half,with the curry and rice.  Our stores do not carry garam Masala so we had to order it from the health food store and recently found it downtown in bulk at our local Farmer's Market.  My husband's mother is from India and so we enjoy some spice.  I really enjoy all cultural foods and constantly look for new ideas that are healthy just like the rice/switch to whole wheat and whole wheat pitas.  Here's the link http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/saras-secrets/butter-chickenindian-chicken-in-tomato-cream-sauce-recipe/index.html I also use 2 cans of tomato sauce instead of canned tomatos as my kids don't like the chunks of tomato.
