Loved this curry - chicken and shrimp make for a wonderful combination! I suspect if one did not have the shrimp on hand it would work beautifully with chicken. Only had a few springs of cilantro subbed with parsley which worked well for me - used green Kung Poa peppers from my potted peppers. With this curry the aroma alone worth a five. So happy I choose to make this one for the Auz/NZ Swap.

This curry had a delicious flavour, and the unusual way its prepared added to the taste! I did follow this except that I kept the oil down to a real minimum. The aroma from the prawns as I cooked them but before I added them to the sauce made me think that they would be lovely on their own with crusty bread and a salad too.

I made this wonderful dish for my curry-loving DS using all chicken breast, I used jalapeno peppers in place of the chili pepper and I omitted the dried chili peppers, since I used 2 jalapeno peppers with the seeds I felt there was enough heat already, I also increased the garlic and did a few other amount changes, thanks BK my DS loved this dish!...Kitten

Oh, this was so delightful! We all loved it and I look forward to making it again. I looked at the recipe too late in the day and realized that I was supposed to marinate the shrimp for 2 hours - that didn't happen - maybe an hour - and it was still great. I used 1 tsp of crushed red pepper in place of the 2 whole chili peppers, and I only used one large sweet onion. Like PaulaG I served it with Recipe #136535 and it was so good together. Topped it all off with some shredded coconut with mango chutney on the side. Thanks so much for posting!
