This dish is one of those go-to dinners that always makes everyone happy at home. Creamy curry sauce on grilled chicken with Arabic rice is comforting, flavorful, and honestly so easy to pull together. On busy days, I often pick up a ready-grilled chicken from the store. While the rice is cooking, I throw together this sauce and a fresh salad. Dinner done in no time—and it feels like a treat!

Why This Curry Sauce Works

The magic really is in the sauce. It’s creamy, a little spicy, and loaded with flavor. I’ve tried plenty of curry powders over the years, but my favorite is still McCormick Curry Madras. It has that deep, bold flavor that instantly lifts the whole dish. Just a spoonful makes the sauce smell and taste amazing.

How I Make It

It’s super quick, just a few steps:

Melt butter with curry powder in a saucepan. (Don’t let it burn.)

Then add milk, cream, a stock cube, and cornstarch. Stir it all together.

Keep it on low heat, stirring until it thickens and turns creamy.

That’s it. A smooth, fragrant curry sauce in minutes.

Serving Ideas

I usually serve it over grilled chicken with Arabic rice—it’s such a good combo. But honestly, this sauce works with so many things. Try it with basmati rice, quinoa, roasted veggies, shrimp, or even poured over baked potatoes. It’s versatile, which is why it shows up on my table so often.

If you’re short on time but still want something full of flavor, this creamy curry sauce is the answer. Quick, easy, and always a favorite in my house—maybe it’ll be in yours too.
