Enjoy the simplicity of this Air Fryer Chicken Curry Baked Potato recipe. Quickly prepare a delicious baked potato using your air fryer, then pair it with our speedy chicken curry for a convenient lunch or dinner. Perfect for busy days when you need a hassle-free meal solution.

Can I cook a baked potato in the air fryer?

Yes, the air fryer is perfect for making crispy-skinned baked potatoes with fluffy insides. Simply cook at 200°C for 35–45 minutes, depending on size.

How do I reheat chicken curry in the air fryer?

It’s best to reheat chicken curry separately in the microwave or on the hob to avoid drying it out. The air fryer is ideal for the baked potato, while the curry topping is added afterwards.

Can I make the chicken curry in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the chicken curry ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat and spoon over the freshly baked potato.

What type of curry works best for this recipe?

A creamy or tomato-based chicken curry (like tikka masala or korma) works beautifully. You can also use leftover curry or a quick homemade version for a fuss-free lunch recipe.

Is this recipe healthy?

Yes, this is a balanced lunch with lean protein, slow-release carbs, and plenty of flavour — a great alternative to a traditional sandwich or wrap.

Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?

Absolutely. Sweet potatoes also cook well in the air fryer and pair nicely with spiced chicken curry for a slightly sweeter flavour.

Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?

Yes — batch cook the chicken curry, and air fry potatoes fresh as needed. It’s a great meal prep lunch idea that reheats well.

How do I make the potato skin extra crispy?

Rub the potato with a little oil and salt before air frying. This gives you that crispy, golden skin that’s perfect for holding hearty toppings.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free or gluten-free?

Yes. Use a dairy-free curry sauce or coconut milk and ensure your curry spices and stock are gluten-free for a fully allergen-friendly version.

What toppings go well with this dish?

Top with fresh coriander, Greek yoghurt or raita, mango chutney, or crispy onions to add extra flavour and texture.
