I've made this recipe several times, and everyone who has tasted it adores it. I'm a little more liberal with the spices because my family seems to like it with a little more of a kick. Will keep in my favorite recipes folder.

My family liked this recipe. I served it with rice and it was good. It was a little pasty, but I think it was the combo of the stew with the rice. Next time I will omit the rice and serve it with a bread.

Love this recipe!!! I omitted the potatoes since I did not have any, but with the garbanzo beans I did not even miss 'em. I also added some shrimp and 1 fresh diced tomato, and dissolved chicken bioullion in the water before adding it. And I only used 1/2 cup of peanut buter. Oh--and I threw in some curry powder too! I think next time I will add some peas and more tomato---there is plenty of room for variation. FABULOUS recipe--Easy, FAST and absolutely delicious!!! Thanks!

This was EXCELLENT! Granted, you have to like spicy, exotic foods :) I modified the recipe by using 4 chicken breasts cut into pieces and also used some of the other suggestions here: chicken broth instead of water, added a can of diced tomatoes, 2-3tbsp. peanut butter.

My husband and I thought this was awsome. Curry and hot food lovers, I added more chilli powder and ginger too (someone else suggested that too) and instead of 1 cup of water, I added a tin of tomatos instead and "Hey Presto" it was fantastic. As others suggested, I didn't use as much peanut paste, maybe 2-3 tlbs. I fully recommend it!! Thanks Leah, the name says it all.

I really liked this a lot because you can tweak it to your taste. I added a little red wine vinegar and sugar which went well with the heat from the spices. Added more potatoes, as they absorb the flavor of the sauce and were really good, added water chestnuts for the same reason. I also liked it better with pork than chicken, as I thought the chicken was kind of dry. My 3 teenagers LOVED it, highest marks.

Very good, added a lot of other vegetables to make it more interesting and will have to cut the pepper spices in half for some of our guests

I really enjoy this recipe, and I make it all the time, now. It's only turned out badly for me once, and that was the time I steamed chicken legs instead of frying them, first. When I precooked the chicken this way, the dish came out too watery. I have also experimented with the recipe, and have used sweet potatos and carrots in lieu of the potato. It turned out well, but I prefer regular potatos. The stew also went over very well at a potluck dinner, and I had requests for the recipe.

This is an overall good recipe. However, be sure to be generous with the seasonings. I think the recipe could use more salt. Be careful not to let the mixture stick to the skillet (peanut butter sticks easily). This was an overall good recipe. I would suggest it.

This soup was "interesting", it just didn't live up to it's expectations. I took the advice of others, used less peanut butter, added chicken stock, curry and extra veggies. It still didn't cut it, it made a lot too. What a waste of food.

Wow! This recipe was amazing! I improvised and used Jiffy extra crunchy peanut butter and I loved the taste. 1/2 the recipe was enough for me to have dinner last night and lunch today. I like how well this recipe works reheated. Will definately make this again!

It was very Sticky and not very smooth at all. My Husband and his friend like it a lot when they added a little tabaso sauce. I think instead of potatoes I will use turnips, to give a sweet taste. I'm going to try it one more time. I would take the suggestion to add 2 cups of chicken broth and cut the peanut butter down to 1/2 cup.

I thought this was ok. It left a very "pasty" film in my mouth, I'm sure from the peanut butter. Also, it was pretty spicy. I don't know how in the world the other reviewer's 2-year-old ate it!

I made this recipe tonight and followed it exactly. After tasting the final product I made a few adjustments. I added chicken broth to thin it out. Then, I added dark brown sugar to sweeten it up a bit (not sure how much I used, probably about 2 or 3 tbsp). That really improved the flavor...not too sweet, but it really enhanced it. It also darkened the sauce up a bit which made it more appetizing. I topped it with chopped peanuts and cilantro. Overall a very good dish, but it needs a little more tweaking...next time, I may add some stewed tomatoes as well as other vegetables.

Yummy, and VERY filling with the potatoes, chick peas, peanut butter and rice! My husband hates chick peas and my father doesn't care for peanut sauce, but both liked this recipe. I used 2 cups of chicken broth instead of 1 cup of water, reduced the peanut butter to 1/2 cup, and increased the potato. This helped to balance out the strong peanut taste that so many reviewers complained of. The potatoes disappeared into the sauce when diced - not sure if this was the intent, but it likely contributed to the "thickness problem" that many reviewers have mentioned. I also found that my stew was a rather pale "I-need-help" beige, as opposed to the appealing rich brown sauce shown in the picture, but the taste was fine. Would likely add some colorful veggies to it next time to brighten it up. Also, I cut the pepper flakes down to 1/2 tsp for a milder flavour. Wonderful, interesting recipe - thanks!

I didn't add any red pepper flakes. So, mine was only a tiny bit spicy from the curry powder. Also some toddlers from family that eat spicy are able to eat spicy foods from a young age (not mine). -- This is a keeper for a weeknight dinner. My 2 year old son happily ate quite a lot of it. I used cubed skinless chicken breasts and canned chicken broth instead of water like on of the other reviewers suggested. I used half a teaspoon of curry powder instead of the ground corriander because I didn't have any and none of red pepper (and I thought it was spicy enough) and only 1/2 cup of peanut butter (it looked thick enough with the 1/2 cup).

Wow this is a fabulous recipe! I used chicken broth instead of water and I substituted yam for the potato. It still turned out nicely. The garbanzo beans add a nice touch.
