Submitted by Mike Matta

"This is the best curried chicken recipe I have ever tasted. It was taken from an old"My Favorite Recipe" card that I had. I just doubled the recipe to allow for more sauce."

This was very tasty. I used one large skinless chicken breasts as I was reducing the recipe to serve two people. I didn't use the cornstarch as the sauce was just right and I didn't want it thicker.Just before serving I stirred some plain yoghurt through the dish as I felt it rounded out the flavours. I served this over brown rice with broccoli.

I've been making this dish since I first found it in 2008. Originally I followed it to a T, and it was so good. I've since doubled the curry and added cumin and coriander to it and it was to die for. I encourage you to try this if you like curry dishes.

This was great. I upped all the spices and added a little cumin and coriander for good measure. Used chicken thighs--trimmed the excess fat to cut back on the grease. Served with naan and a green salad.

This was good. We just felt it was missing the intense Indian flavour. It did taste really good....all of us enjoyed it! Just missed the true Indian intensity. Thanks for posting.
