I have to agree with Richard Clarke that this makes a beautiful meal. I mainly followed the recipe, though I used a little less chicken than called for, and added about 2 cups chicken stock to prevent burning, and have a "saucier" dish. I kept the heat on low for most of the cooking time. I used whole spices unless specified in the recipe, and enjoyed the burst of flavor that the coriander seeds provided in the finished dish. This is so fragrant, and, while not what I would typically think of as curry, is the kind of dish you might get in a good Indian restaurant. We enjoyed this very much with Bergy's Naan. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. -
