This is excellent, we really enjoyed it. I didn't have fresh green chillies so used jar red chillies. Used about 1 1/2 teaspoons of chilli powder which was hot enough for us and we like hot curries. As the mix was simmering at step 3, I did keep a bit of an eye on it and probably added about a 1/2 cup of water so it wouldn't dry out to much. Also used the entire tin of coconut cream. Thanks for a winner Sarah!

Thanks for posting this great recipe. I used two chicken breast filets, weighing about 300gr together, as there are only two of us, but I still used the same amounts for all other ingredients. I think the amount of sauce was just right and if I made it with the stated amount of chicken I think I'd double the sauce. I didn't have green chilis so I used one fresh red jalapeno pepper and just a little over 1tsp of chili powder and it was just right, nice and spicy without being too hot. The only other thing I changed was to add about 1 tsp of regular curry powder towards the end of cooking, for a bit of extra flavour. We served it with basmati rice and naan breads and I'll be making it again. :D

I followed the recipe twice. Both times, my sauce/gravy comes out brown from the spices, not orange/red/yellow-ish as shown in the photos. My mother-in-law, formerly of Bombay, used to make a very similar dish and her curry chicken was always the color shown in these photos and it was not as sweet as the coconut milk makes it. So, I feel something is being left out of the recipe to give it that unique color and maybe something else other than coconut milk is used in the real Bombay curry chicken (at least the way my mother-in-law used to make it.) I would love to be able to duplicate her recipe. BTW, her recipe tasted just the same as the curry chicken served in all the Dallas area Indian restaurants.
