  1. I only had chicken breast meat to use, but it worked fine (kept a close eye so the chicken didn't overcook). We LOVED the flavor of this curry and will be making this recipe regularly. Thank you, Joyful, for a great recipe.
     
  2. This was fantastic! I altered the recipe slightly, only due to what I had available. I only had about 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt (bad planning on my part) so I used that plus a few tablespoons of heavy cream. Instead of adding 2 tomatoes, I used a can of diced tomatoes (including the juice). I lost a little bit of the curry color from this, but the flavor was awesome! I served this with rice and a big chunk of rustic bread.
     
  3. We absolutely loved this! It is mild, yet very tasty! Will definately make again. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
     
  4. Love it much appreciated!!!
     
  5. Delicious! Great balance of flavours and it had a wonderful aroma while cooking.I also liked the idea of using whole chicken thighs to give the flavour plenty of time to develop without overcooking.

Tweaks

  1. I had quite a bit of leftover roast chicken on hand & figured this recipe would work, and it did. I sauteed green onions (had a bunch I was keeping fresh in a tall glass) & used dried Coriander. (Hint: divide hot curry powder into small jars & let them age to tone down the heat, a trick learned from an Indian chef who went to my church. It takes from 4-6 most to get hot to medium & 2-3 more for sweet. It's a great thing to know when introducing kids to curries.) The dish turned out great in just 25 min! I made the Basmati rice in the microwave (!) - 9 min full power/9 more @50% both uncovered. While the rice cooked I did the chicken. I added fresh atta bread, a spinach salad & 'poof'! dinner was served. Everyone raved over the blend of spices against the creaminest of the yogurt. Thanks for a great recipe!
