Aromatic Chicken Curry

This chicken curry is not as spicy as the " normal" ones. Instead it has more fragrance. If you still think it's too hot, use only one chili pepper.

Wonderful flavors. For the curry I used recipe #279198. I used bone-in chicken breasts that I left whole; to accommodate, after frying and removing the potatoes, I added the chicken to brown, then removed them before proceeding to the spices. I served this on my DH's Indian rice; next time I will serve on steamed white rice. Before eating, I tore my basil leaf garnish into bits and sprinkled over my dish. Very nice! Thanks, Chef Dudo!

Wow!! This is so lovely and aromatic is such a perfect name for this curry. Because of DH's health problems I couldn't use the oil, and instead of the coconut milk I had to sub with coconut flavoured skim evaporated milk. It was still wonderful and I will be making it frequently. I used a little more chilli because we like it quite hot. Thank you Chef Dudo for another great dinner.Reply
