This is SOOOOO scrumptious! Quick, easy, cheap, versatile... I used what I had on hand for this so I changed a couple things: only chicken breast meat, not as many tomatoes, so I added a little bit of water, then added added some chopped zucchini. It was wonderful over rice. My husband LOVED it too! Thanks!

I found this in one of my old cookbooks and was going to post it myself. This is simple to do and tastes great, even miss 4 year old ate it up with no fuss. It's quick to put together on a busy weeknight and one I'll make again. Thanks for posting!

I made this delicious and easy curry recipe for the Curry challenge in ZWT4 and I'm so glad that I did. It was even better after it sat in the fridge overnight (I couldn't resist tasting it this morning). A wonderful taste of Africa! Thank you for the easy recipe!

I enjoyed this dish, but my DD and I both thought it needed a little zing. I used chicken breasts and added chicken broth in place of the stock powder, it would have been pretty dry without this extra liquid.; and yellow pepper in place of green. I will make this again and maybe use a spicier curry mix. This also got 2 clove of garlic, because I was making Recipe #221217 to serve with it and the garlic went into the wrong pan! Thank you Heydarl for sharing your recipe. Reviewed by a Chic Chef for ZWT4 Africa

Yummy this was great! I would not of thought of green peppers and peanut butter, but followed this exactly and was such a joy to devour. I used mine on top of chicken thighs and was outstanding. The peanut butter, curry, onion, and tomatoes were outstanding. I will use this often, the house smelled wonderful while this was bubbling away. Thank you so much, Heydarl! Made for *ZWT4* June 2008.
