I made this the other night & loved it. It needed some more spices, could do with more sauce too. I will be making it again.

Def easy to make. I upped the coconut milk based on other reviews I like lots of sauce. I found all of the spices with no problem. Had to make a speical trip to trader joe's for the coconut milk local stores didn't carry it. I wasn't too impressed with it my hubby ate it but then again he'll eat anything. This is not going to be a regular in my house may make it once a year...maybe

I found it very bland, but I will try again next time adding more spices to the dish. I also added one diced potato to mine as I like potatoes in my curry.

Coconut sauce is a nice foil to the spice on the chicken. However found I needed to cook my chicken longer than what was listed on recipe to get rid of pink centers

I don't even know what some of those spices are but still found the dish to be quit good, better the next day.

This is a really quick and rewarding meal. Not very hot so I added another 2 spoons of mild curry to taste and that was just right! Will definitely make it again.

This dish is a definite keeper. Besides the heavy hand I had while putting in the chili powder this dish was a hit with my family.

This dish was easy to make and delicious. I love that you make your own curry powder, because you can alter things as needed. Definitely making this one again.

Loved it, though it wasn't very "saucy" ... Next time i might add a wee bit more coconut milk and see how it turns out.

I loved this recipe. My nephew got cream of coconut instead of coconut milk so this was a little sweet however, it was good with just a little bit of heat too it. I wouldn't mind keeping the sweet and adding more heat. I also think that it would be great over Quinoa if you didn't want rice.

This dish was absolutely amazing. I made it last night and we absolutely adored it. I added a bit of five spice and that just finished the dish but I would LOVE to have it again! Great recipie!

There are a lot of ingredients in this dish! I didn't have the cumin or jalepeno pepper, but it was delicious anyway. My kids are fairly picky eaters and they loved it!
2 years, 3 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 11 hours, 51 minutes ago
This lacked the heat that I look for in this is kind of dish. I suppose it is a welcome compromise for those who like these 'Indian' flavors, but don't prefer much heat. The meat was very tender. If I were to make it again, I would tweak it to add some heat.
