Curry, which is among the local flavors of India, is actually a mixture of spices. Curry, which is used quite frequently in Asian and European cuisines, has started to become widespread in Turkish cuisine today. Its main ingredients include turmeric, sumac and, in addition, the leaves of the intensely flavored curry tree. This intense flavor goes especially well with chicken dishes. Bon Appetit!
Heat the oil in a vog pan, add the cubed chicken breasts and sauté until the chickens absorb their water and turn colour.
In another pan, heat the butter, add the flour and fry, stirring constantly, until the smell comes out and turns pink. Slowly add the cold milk to the roasted flour and mix. When the sauce starts to boil slightly, add the curry, salt and pepper and put the chicken in this sauce.
Click on low heat until the chickens absorb the sauce. (Chicken should stay thick, not too dry) On the other hand, finely chop the parsley and mix half of it with the chicken with sauce and transfer it to the serving plate. Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley and serve hot. Bon Appetit!
Note: You can serve your meal with bulgur pilaf with tomatoes or rice pilaf with saffron (or turmeric).

Chicken Breast:
Chicken Breast is a high-quality protein source essential for muscle repair and growth. Rich in B3 (niacin), B6, and B12 vitamins, selenium, and phosphorus, it supports energy metabolism and nervous system health. Its low fat and cholesterol content make it a heart-friendly choice. It pairs excellently with broccoli, asparagus, quinoa, and fresh herbs.
Flour:
Flour is a fundamental foodstuff obtained by grinding grains. It provides our body with a long-lasting energy source, especially through complex carbohydrates. Varieties like whole wheat flour, thanks to their high fiber content, support digestive health, provide a feeling of fullness, and help stabilize blood sugar levels. It also contains essential B vitamins (especially B1, B3, B9) and important minerals such as iron and magnesium, which are crucial for nervous system functions, energy production, and blood formation. It is versatile in the kitchen; forming the base for baked goods like bread and pastries when combined with milk, eggs, and yeast, while also being used to thicken sauces or create harmonious flavors with vegetables.
Curry:
Curry is a unique blend of spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Thanks to curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, it boasts powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It also supports digestive health. It pairs exceptionally well with chicken, vegetables, chickpeas, and coconut milk.
Liquid Oil:
Liquid oils (sunflower, olive, etc.) are essential kitchen ingredients that add flavor to dishes and contain healthy unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. Ideal for frying, salad dressings, baking, and sautéing. They pair perfectly with vegetables, meats, legumes, and grains. They offer easy cooking.
Butter:
Butter is a rich, flavorful fat derived from milk. It contains fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K2, along with healthy fatty acids, serving as an energy source. It's easily digestible. Butter enhances the taste of meals and rice dishes, is spread on bread, or used in sauces. It's indispensable for breakfast tables and various recipes.
Milk:
Milk is rich in calcium and Vitamin D, supporting bone and teeth health. Its high-quality protein content is crucial for muscle development. B vitamins (B2, B12) contribute to energy metabolism and support nervous system health. It also contains components that strengthen the immune system. It pairs wonderfully with coffee, cereals, fruits, honey, or cocoa. It forms an indispensable base for many sweet and savory recipes.
Water:
Water is the foundation of life and indispensable for bodily functions. Its main roles include transporting nutrients and oxygen to cells, eliminating metabolic waste through the kidneys, and regulating body temperature. It is essential for joint health, organ protection, and maintaining cellular functions. Dehydration leads to low energy and kidney issues. When consumed with fibrous fruits and vegetables, water aids digestion. It forms a good combination with mineral water or herbal teas for electrolyte balance.
Black Pepper:
Black pepper, a kitchen staple, offers not just flavor but also significant health benefits. Thanks to piperine, its active compound, it boasts powerful antioxidant properties, helping to combat free radicals. It can stimulate the digestive system, enhancing nutrient absorption and notably increasing the bioavailability of curcumin found in turmeric. Additionally, it's effective in reducing gas and bloating. It also has a mild metabolism-boosting effect. With a wide range of uses from red meats to poultry, vegetable dishes to soups, it pairs excellently. It harmonizes perfectly with spices like cumin and coriander, as well as ingredients like lemon and garlic, adding depth to dishes.
Parsley:
Parsley is a powerful antioxidant source that supports bone health and plays a crucial role in blood clotting due to its Vitamin K content. Its Vitamin C content strengthens immunity. Rich in flavonoids like apigenin, it can help reduce inflammation. It is also a natural diuretic. It pairs perfectly with lemon, garlic, and olive oil; adding a refreshing flavor to fish, chicken, soups, and salads.
