Chicken Curry

This is an excellent curry and I do agree a 100% with Bergy that the house does smell wonderful while this is cooking. I made this for lunch this afternoon using a 1kg 200gm chicken(skinless and cut into bite-sized pieces), 1 tsp. garam masala powder, 1 1/2 tsps. salt, paste of 1 medium and 1 small tomato, 2 chopped tomatoes(medium-sized), 2 medium onions(chopped), 3 tbsps. oil(as a substitute for butter), 1 inch ginger, 7 cloves of garlic, 2 green chillies(slit) and 1 tsp. turmeric powder. I also added a pinch of red food colour to the gravy of this chicken while cooking this same and it imparted a colour that's beautiful beyond words. I omitted the methi seeds and I definitely find them very unnecessary in this beautiful chicken dish. I garnished it with corriander leaves before serving and it looked so neat and presentable. My family enjoyed it with rotis and some yogurt on the side. Your mom is a fantastic cook, do tell her that:) Thank You, Rav, for a beautiful lunch this afternoon.

This was alright. Not quite a perfect curry; but, for the amount of ease it is a decent curry! Would make again when looking for a quick curry recipe. Thanks for posting.

Good basic curry. The whole dish was easy to prepare and cook, I added a few potatoes to the sauce so as to bulk out the meal and still had plenty of the gravy left. I used the excess gravy, added a little coconut milk and a grated courgette with a handfull of prawns to make another dish. Served with plain rice, chutny, and a fruity sambal. thanks for posting.

Good, but not excellent. Something was missing, couldn't quite put my finger on . . . We eat Indian food at least 3 times a week (my husband's from India), and are quite familiar with it. I felt the amount of seasoning was less. After completing the dish it was still bland. Had to put 2 teaspoons garam masala, 2 teaspoons coriander powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder and a little cumin powder. And it came close to 3 teaspoons of salt, if I remember correctly. Add fresh chopped coriander leaf at the end. This recipe is the closest one I could find on recipezaar to the original chicken curry that we enjoy from the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

This was really delicious. I used capsicum rather than green chilli peppers and added some chilli flakes (it was what I had on hand) and used oil spray rather than butter, and sweet paprika as my 'dry red pepper'. I also browned the chicken pieces first. A really tasty dish that will become part of my repertoire! Thanks for sharing.

Wow, this was good! I used chicken bullion instead of the water and cut up chicken breasts. This smelled so good I could hardly keep my spoon out of the pot. Great way to use the tomatoes in the freezer! Thanks.

Terrific! This was simple and quick, but with a big flavor payoff . I halved the recipe and used a couple substitutions based on what I had available: ghee instead of butter, roasted jalapenos for the chili peppers, ground methi for the seeds and kashmiri chili powder for the red. And all I had on hand were boneless, skinless chicken breasts. If using these, I'd suggest watching the cook time closely and making sure they're don't get overcooked. The result was a very tasty curry I served over basmati rice that we'll definitely make again. Made for PAC Fall 2008. Thank you, Rav!

This recipe is so easy to make. I used diced tomatoes and green chiles from a can, b/c I didn't have fresh ingredients in the house. It was still delicious. Even my finicky fiance loved it! Thank you, Rav. We're looking forward to more of your mom's favorites!

This was enjoyed by the family .. thanks for sharing this recipe.. The only difference I did was that I dredged the chicken pieces in shake'bake and browned .. I then followed the recipe from square one.. very nice change

This was wonderful. I was looking for something to do with some bone-in chicken thighs in my freezer and this was an excellent choice. I had all of the spices, but didn't have any tomato paste, so I added another tomato. (I'm at the end of the season for tomatoes in my garden.) Even my DH liked it and he's very particular (and is not wild about tomatoes either). I garnished it with fresh cilantro (a delicious addition) and served it with basmati rice, steamed cauliflower, and a simple salad of mixed greens, onion and cucumber (out of yogurt too). Next time, I will put some diced potatoes in during last stages of cooking and serve fresh peas with it. Rav, I'm looking forward to trying more of your recipes. Thank you for a lovely meal.

This was a good curry, but as we make and eat a lot very similar, there were no suprises. We also garnished it with cilantro as Charisma suggested.
