Great curry thanks Charishma. I used chicken thigh fillets, instead of cutting up a whole chicken, and I think I should have bought 2 bunches of coriander to make up the 2 cups of leaves rather than the 1 I bought, I also increased the salt to 1 teaspoon instead of a half. I went out for drinks with friends today, and although I got home not feeling like cooking, this was so simple to put together and tasted fantastic!
