Creamy Chicken and Lentil Coconut Curry – One Pot Wonder!
Backyard Chef
@backyardchefAbout
This channel shows how food is made—from home-cooked meals to street food favourites—without the fuss. I want to share the heart of cooking, learned through years in kitchens and on the streets. I've cooked in European, Indian, and Chinese restaurants. My love for Asian food began there. I arrived in Thailand twenty years ago and fell in love with the people, culture, and food. With my wife, I started Curry-Nights, British Indian ready meals. I Cooked 400 meals daily, supplying supermarkets across Thailand and Laos. Cooking is a universal language. Sharing food builds lasting bonds. Here, you’ll find real cooking without ego or pretence. After years in restaurants—from washing pans to cooking alongside chefs—the world changed. I lost everything and found a new purpose: helping people rediscover joy in home cooking. Cooking shouldn’t be intimidating. My mission is to make it simple, fun, and rewarding.
