This is a very tasty dish--one of the best recipes for curry I've found on the site. I add the entire marinade to the pan with the chicken, otherwise you lose a lot of the spices. The sauce is dryish, spicy, and tangy. Without adding the marinade to the pan/pot, this would be very dry unless you added water/wine. I also add a couple of hot chilis to this mix. Very tasty.
