INGREDIENTS FOR CURRY NOODLES

Noodles: I have used egg noodles. You can also use udon noodles to make this recipe.

Vegetables: I have used onion, carrots, cabbage, and green capsicum. To make it more colorful and nutritious, along with carrot and cabbage you can use capsicum of different colors.

Curry powder: Curry powder gives flavor and aroma. You can buy curry powders from Asian stores.

Meat: Good quality chicken breasts are best for this recipe. If you want a vegetarian version of this recipe you can substitute chicken with mushroom.

Oil: You can use vegetable oils of your choice other than coconut oil. You can also use sesame oil. It tastes very good.

Soya sauce and black pepper powder: Gives flavor and spiciness to the noodles.
