  1. Great for leftovers! This has A LOT of curry powder, and the result is very spicy but not fiery, and would be good for moderating blood sugar. I had to more than double the water to have any sauce. I served this over brown rice. The overall color was curry, just begging for some contrasting color. With this much curry powder, be sure to use a fresh high-quality curry powder (lasts 6 months in the freezer or 1 month in the refrigerator) or else you will be disappointed. If I had leftover coconut milk, I would use that instead of water. I pulled my chicken instead of cubing it, and that might account for the shredding that occurred during cooking.
