  1. Sorry, but as Asian food is my life, this one misses the mark. I had half a barbecued chicken to get rid of. It seemed the perfect idea. Followed exactly, but when tasted, it lacked. Had to do emergency surgery! Here is what I suggest next time.. To the spice add 1tsp paprika, a little chilli powder if you wish. (We need to add body to the curry). If using leftover chicken, just throw in 2 mins before the end. Let the spices and sauce cook FIRST. Add 1 tbsp of lemon juice just before serving. Rescued.
     
  2. Prepared using PhilH's invaluable suggestions. Quite good for jazzing up leftover chix.
     
  3. omg i am so sorry but this is the only recipe on this site that i have tried and none of us liked it, i think it may have been the mustard seeds, but it tasted awful. I had to do some serious tinkering to make it edible.
     
  4. Definitely a keeper. I used canned green chilis as that was all I had. Didn't put in the mustard seed as I didn't have the black. There wasn't a tablespoon of cumin left in the bottle so I was short on that. Will make the recipe again when I have all the ingredients. My husband liked it so that is saying a lot.
     
  5. This dish was delicious, even my young girls loved it. I didn'nt put all the chili's in. I did wonder what size piece of ginger it should have been. And, I used cumin seeds, but thought later that it should have been ground cumin. All in all it was a hit!
