This recipe is sooooo good! I'm making it for the 3rd time tonight.
ReplyGlad to hear that you like the recipe :)
ReplyTried this tonight, super easy and tasty. For our tastes, will add a bit more tomatoes next time.
ReplyI'm cooking this got the second time, tonight. I added red bell pepper to sweat down with the onion. The first time, I also added a pound of shrimp. This is a fantastic recipe. Since we like a little extra kick, I also add in cayenne pepper before the coconut milk.
ReplyMaking third time tomorrow second time it wasn't so good becouse i put in too much of the vegetables
ReplyNever again. Not much taste in this dish, but the amount of curry stench left in my apartment the next few days is SO not worth this. I will never use curry EVER again. indian is the WORST kind of asian.
Replyand you are the worst kind of human
ReplyAnd you’re the asshole of it’s kind.
ReplyYou must be the kind of people that only eat MCdonald because you don’t know good food.
ReplyProbably didn’t even do it right
ReplyEait you hate indian food and you're here for an indian curry recipe? 🤔🙄 How ironic
Replyfuck u tasteless shit
ReplyYou must be a terrible cook and have an even worse personality
ReplyMatt check there is no shit under your nose.
ReplyYou must have made a mistake. This is a great recipe. Maybe you have bad taste buds and only eat fast food so your palate is screwed up.
Reply@matt how very rude
ReplyLOVED it!!!! Second time making today. I did improvise a lil on some of the ingredients like instead of coconut cream I used evaporated milk because that's what I had. Also used ginger powder and tomato soup. Didn't have chicken breast so used split chicken quarters instead. Being large pieces, boiled them first before continuing with recipe! A lot of improvising BUT Delicious!!!!!
ReplyWas yummy and great flavour kids loved it ... But bit runny how do I thicken it up
ReplyI use 1/4-2/4 cup water instead of 3/4.
ReplyI used a bit of cornflour and cold water mixed and stirred in at the end to thicken it up
Replysimmer and stir until its thickened
ReplyI love this recipe. I'm Jamaican so I add a teaspoon scotch bonnet powder and 2 tablespoons tika masala. The tika masala takes this dish to the next level!
ReplyDoes this dish freeze up well?
ReplyYes, it is freezable for a coupe days. However, don't freeze it for too long, as the curry taste will slowly eradicate.
ReplyOkay, so this recipe is one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten, at home or from a restaurant. Increased the garam masala and used some asafoetida powder. This could be my dinner every day and I wouldn't get sick of it. Seriously considering making a few gallons, sans chicken, and freezing it in ziploc bags so I can do just that.
ReplySo good, this is now my quick go to chicken curry, going to add the tika masala as per Sade's post.
Replywhich curry powder are u using ? company name plz
ReplyMy family LOVES this recipe. And although I don't eat meat, I must say that I love it too because it is quick and easy! It's definitely a keeper. Thank you!
ReplyIt was soooo good! Can't wait to try more curry dishes!
ReplyGREAT recipe!! :) recommend adding a half teaspoon of red chili powder and half teaspoon of turmeric :)
Replyrecommend using 1 onion instead
ReplyThis dish is delicious....no need to get an Indian take-away, this dish is the real thing YUM definitely staying in my recipe book forever, thank you very much. I served it with boiled rice and made some mini Naan breads, and enough left overs for lunch today aswell! Double bonus :)
ReplyI made this and it was unbelievable ! So yummy I added a few potatoes and cauliflower to it to make a 1 bowl meal with naan. My hubby is diabetic so we don’t eat a lot of rice had 1/2 c each
ReplySoooo good!!! Third time making it! Substitute water for chicken stock and it’s even better :))) how many calories per serving, would be helpful.
ReplyAnyone know a rough calorie count? Also this recipe is my go-to for curry. Absolutely delicious
ReplyGreat easy curry. I make lots of curries and this is so good.
ReplyI made this tonight and it is DELICIOUS!! After chopping it’s easy, too! Definitely will become a staple.
ReplyIs it possible to do this in the slow cooker?
ReplyMy family love this recipe and we have enjoyed it regularly , recently as an experiment I tried substituting tinned mixed beans for the chicken , it was delicious and a big success ! I find stirring a good handful of chopped fresh coriander through at the end of cooking helps too .
ReplyA small suggestion for the way the recipe is written - "2 Onions" is highly variable. It could be a bit easier for the reader/home cook if you used a volume measurement of some kind here. "Approx 1 cup onion" is a bit more clear for a first timer. That said - This is a good dish. Like a few others, I punched up the heat with a bit more spice (cayenne). But this comes together quickly and tastes great. Thanks
