Great chicken dish! I don't care for onions so left them thinly sliced instead of mincing them into the sauce. I used recipe #38702 (Homemade Curry Powder) and the sauce was richly spiced and the chicken was tender and delicious. I will increase the pepper flakes or add some cayenne to my curry powder next time to turn up the heat a bit. We enjoyed this - thanks for sharing the recipe!

Wonderful, easy curry! I had leftover curry powder recipe #305276 from ZWT and wanted to make a different curry, and this is what my research produced. As I can't have dairy, I used coconut milk with one teaspoon tart tamarind puree, and instead of cornstach I used arrowroot. Will make this again - thanks for posting!
