"This is one of the most delicious chicken recipes I've tasted! I used curry powder instead of curry paste, and added some rice and a little more salt to make it a main course meal. Very nice!..." See more"

"Delicious and easy. I followed recipe to the letter and it turned out great - only one word of advice - cook this on a day that you can keep windows open - I cooked it the day of NYC's blizzard this ..." See moreyear - my house smelled of curry for five days since it was too cold to open the windows to air the house out! This recipe is a keeper though."
