My Favourite Chicken Curry

Submitted by Stardustannie

"This is a winner with my family. I like to serve this with Onion Pilau #108305. I also like to throw in a handful of red lentils towards the end whilst it is simmering. Pumpkin and baby spinch chucked in towards the end is nice also."

A very nice curry. I followed the recipe -- even added the pumpkin and the lentils. It gave the kitchen a beautiful perfume. Might not add the sugar in future, but that is a personal preference. Made and enjoyed for Zaar World Tour.

I made this as a take-home meal for my curry-loving DS, I use chicken breasts and increased the curry and fresh garlic, the sauce was a bit on the thin side, so I might only use one can crushed tomatoes and reduce the chicken broth slightly next time I make it, great flavor though, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten:)

this was great. i had all the ingredients on hand so it was easy too. i never used brown sugar in curry before and it was a nice addition!

This was pretty good, and made with ingredients we always have on hand. I used the pumpkin, spinach and lentils and fresh rather than dried chilli. I think a good squeeze of lemon juice and a handful of chopped mint or fresh corinder would have made this 5 stars for us.

I halved the recipe and made it as stated. It was really wonderful. As it reminded me of a moroccan recipe, so I added some zucchini, dried apricots and a handful of lentils. I served it with couscous. This is a very versatile recipe, you can easily add some new ingredients (veggies). Is is quickly made and both meat and veggies are in one dish. Fabulous!
