  1. This is a delicious curry dish! The cool yogurt was a great balance to the curry flavors. I think my pan was too hot when I added the yogurt because it curdled, so make sure your pan is on a low heat and your yogurt is room temp before adding it. Nonetheless, the flavor of the chicken and the sauce was delicious - we really enjoyed - thanks for sharing the recipe!
     
  2. Indeed, a simple recipe with great taste and a smooth creamy texture, very much my sort of curry! I cut my chicken into bite size pieces, prefer it that way, and since we were only 2, I cut back on the chicken but not on the sauce, so had lots of delicious sauce to enjoy with rice :) I did use a thick yoghurt, of a Greek yoghurt texture.<br/>This was lovely, awalde, thank you, made for PRMR tag game
     
  3. This chicken had a really good flavor; however, the yogurt sauce did not turn out as shown in the picture. Perhaps I should have used greek yogurt vs. plain yogurt. I will definitely try this dish again and try greek yogurt since it has a thicker consistency than regular yogurt. Made for the AUS/NZ Make My Recipe Tag, November, 2011.
     
  4. Oh my, this is good! There wasn't anything that I didn't love about it. Loved the curry and yogurt together (used fat free Greek yogurt). It made a perfect summer meal with just a green salad on the side. Easy to make too and who doesn't love that. :D
     
  5. I enjoyed this but I cut all the spices in half for my taste. I will make this again . thanks for posting.Made for world tour 8

  1. A wonderful blend of spices, just perfect! We loved this dish very much, thanks for sharing it :)<br/>I used greek sheep yoghurt which is very creamy, and instead of ground almonds (I didn't have any) I used roasted almond butter. So the sauce became extremely creamy and smooth. Served this with sweet potato and curried cauliflower.<br/>Made for Holiday Jolly Diabetic Friendly Foods and Game of the Diabetes Forum.
