So good! I followed some other reviewers' advice and doubled up on the spices- excellent. Even my kids (7, 4 and 2) eat it without complaint. Thank you!

I made this last night and it was great. Doubled the recipe and I only made one substitute, and that was the cumin seed. When I started to prepare for the dish I did not have any cumin seed (thought I did!) so I used ground cumin and just skipped the browning and just sprinkled it on the onions at the end of their browning. It was plenty spicy. I wonder if the folks who did not think it was spicy have old expired spices, or did not follow the recipe correctly. Can't imagine it bland if made according to the directions. I did follow someone else who mentioned potatoes and peas would be good, so I did add about 2 cups cooked potatoes and 1 cup frozen peas at the end. I will be making this again. Thanks!

I love, love, love this recipe-- so great! I also didn't have chili paste- but had chili powder and just added some water. It seemed to do the trick. The flavors were terrific! Will definitely will make again!

A great recipe but not enough spice. Didn't taste salty & spicy enough, so I had to add curry powder. Not sure if it's because I didn't use the hot chili paste...

This is a great start! I added a can of mixed veggies and really upped the spice via garlic powder and curry powder. Also to trim some fat I didn't use the coconut milk (gasp) instead subbing plain Lowfat greek yogurt and added a dallop of sour cream when served. Delicious! Thanks for sharing! We will use this again often!

This is my FAVORITE meal! I make it with lots of vegetables and would even leave out the chicken if my husband would eat it without the meat.

Per others reviews, I doubled the cumin and turmeric. I used tsp. cumin seed and 1 tsp. ground cumin. I didn't have chili paste, so I used 1 tbsp. sriracha sauce instead. Since sriracha already has sugar in it I omitted the brown sugar. It was pretty spicy. I often use coconut cream instead of coconut milk in recipes. About 3 tbsp + 1 c. water = 1 c. coconut milk. It's cheaper this way. I think next time I'll add potatoes. It was very flavorful and would be great with tofu!

I was so surprised by how good this is! I didn't expect the flavors to be so intense, when I read the ingredients I thought it may be a bit too sweet, and I don't like "sweet meat" lol. As I was cooking it, I thought there wasn't a lot of sauce, so I doubled all the sauce ingredients but left the chicken the same. I followed the recipe ingredients exactly, EXCEPT I accidentally added A LOT more turmeric, because the top fell off while I was adding it! However, it tasted really good, so I think I will always add more than the recipe calls for, say 1.5 tsp for a double sauce batch. I also added one red chile and one green chile but I left them whole. This gives flavor without a lot of heat. I did that instead of the paste, along with a small sprinkle of chili powder, because I didn't have any paste. Otherwise, I followed it as written. It was so good! Will certainly make again and again! Don't be too critical if you're looking for gourmet indian, because this isn't it. But it's a fantastically flavored dish that will please a wide variety of people.
