Awesome comfort food! It was so good! My husband insisted it get only 4 stars because he had to add hotsauce. It was a little bland, but the better for the kids to eat! And there were NO leftovers!

Pretty good recipe! It's nice to have a curry dish that is low in fat. I added garbanzos and peas. I served it over rice, and over fettuccine the next day. Yum!

We really like this one a lot! Very easy to throw together and quite tasty. We like a little spicier, so just increase the spices - and I add cumin, as well. Depending on what I have, I also add peas (frozen) - about a cup - or a can of garbanzo beans/chick peas, w/ the tomatoes. Hearty and healthy - and quite tasty!

I was looking for a chicken crockpot curry that didn't use coconut milk, and tried this one. I did make it as more of a stew! Modified it in the following way: used frozen bell pepper strips for the pepper; chunked purple potato for the potato; used chicken legs (removed the skin) for the chicken; used canned diced tomato; added some sliced carrot and sliced garlic. Increased the salt (used about 2tsp) per previous reviews, Omitted the cornstarch. Stirred a dollop of sour cream into each bowl (thanks for that suggestion!). The meat just fell off the bones by the end of cooking, and the taste of the whole thing was unremarkable but very good - savory with just a little bit of bite to it. Overall, VERY easy and satisfying, and flexible. I'm going to make this again! I'd say this is a 4.5 if you take into account easy preparation - throw it all together in 10 minutes, then just wait. Thanks for posting it.
