Hi Brian I'M dying to give this receipe a try, it looks so good, and very simple to make. I think I have just about everything, for the exception of the curry leaves, which I'll just sub. for curry powder. Hope it turns out as nice and good as yours looks!!! Thanks again for posting!!! PS. I'M only giving 4 stars,as I have'nt made it yet. Well today I made your Balti Chicken receipe, and it was just wonderful, the fresh coriander went lovely in this receipe. Will definitely make it again, Thanks Brian for sharing this wonderful receipe with all of us.
