Chicken Curry

UmmIbrahim's Note:

A simple, easy to prepare curry. We like this served over rice spiced with a couple allspice berries, green cardamom pods, and cloves. I just love soaking up the sauce with fresh naan. Spices can be easily adjusted according to taste.

What a nice curry! I had to make some adjustments since I do not mix meat and dairy. Used olive oil instead of butter and extra coconut milk instead of yogurt. The curry is spicy and very flavourful. Thanks for posting.

This curry has a very nice flavor to it. Instead of butter I used oil and cut back to a couple of tablespoons. I also used one large fresh tomato instead of the tomato sauce.
