Very nice curry, creamy with a rich flavour, and easy to prepare. I subbed shrimps for the chicken, adding them towards the end to poach in the sauce. I did use the cayenne pepper, but did not use the raisins. To add a little body, I added about 200 gr trimmed green beans. We enjoyed this very much, thank you!

Very good!!! My hubby gave it 5 stars, I gave it 4. I only give 5 if it's really over the top!!! But this was very good.........and gluten free as well. I varied by using left over chicken breast meat and also added some cashews. I would definitely make this again! -
VERY tasty curry indeed, TRUE! Used vanilla low fat yogurt too! GREAT for entertaining, worked for me! As I LOVE it HOT, I added diced chilli! Only thing had a bit of trouble, but am sure is me, The cardamon pods...once cooked, I could not see! So if you have a helpful hint on how to find my six, Will take a photo of this lovely mix! THANKS! -
This is a nice curry. I found it a little bit bland, which surprised me considering the amount of spices, but maybe it's because I prefer saltier dishes, and this is slightly sweet and powdery. Next time I make it I'll add some Bragg's aminos. Made for Unrated Asian Recipes Tag Game.

Lovely recipe! I switched out Coconut Milk for Almond Milk and added into the mix 1/2 cup of carrots and 1 cup broccoli with 1 tsp oregano, parmesan cheese, sage and dill weed. We enjoyed, Thanks! -

I'm a novice cook who loves to experiment in the kitchen. My favorite cookbooks are by far "More-with-less" and "Extending the table." They have simple, healthy recipes with common ingredients. One of my pet peeves is "a can-of-this and a can-of-that" cooking; I love to cook with basic ingredients.
