Delicious recipe! It even looks just wonderful on the plate. A few things could be clearer. For instance Indian chicken is almost always prepared skinless, but that's not clear in the recipe, and I wonder if the nutritional info reflected skin-on chicken. Also, I wonder if the chili powder really is chili powder . . . I suspect it's supposed to be ground chilis, or cayenne powder, instead. Chili powder is for making regular western chili. At any rate, I used only 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper (not chili powder), and used 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast for health reasons. I reduced the oil to 2 tablespoons, reduced the salt to a 1/2 teaspoon, and replaced the coconut milk with light coconut milk plus a dash of coconut extract. Despite the modifications, the dish was still outstanding. Perfect for scooping up with Indian breads, or you could leave a bit of the sauce and have it over basmati rice. The recipe did call for a lot of water--I think 1/2 to 1 cup is better, depending on how wide your pan is. The amount of cayenne I used resulted in a moderately hot dish.

I tried to cook it till all the liquid disappears, but i think the 2 cups water was simply too much! it would have taken me at least 45 mins on a rolling boil to get it reduced.... so, I gave up. tried the "gravy" and just served it with the gravy instead. it actually turned out quite well, but it is not dry fried curry... :(

Wow! What a delightful dish! It tasted very similar to a curry dish I had at a Thai restaurant in trendy Soho in NYC. Having never cooked this kind of dish before I didn't know what to expect but it was very easy and very delicious. The only thing that marred the event was that I couldn't get the liquid to boil off. I covered the dish for the allotted time and when I took it off, all the liquid was still there. I went ahead and added the coconut milk and let it boil down there but used the thick sauce over rice instead. It was still delicious but likely not what was intended. I will try to get it correct next time as I will definitely be making this again.

My family cannot eat this enough it seems. We make it at least once a week. It does take a while to let all the gravy cook away, and quite a bit of stirring toward the end to avoid burning it. We like to add a small bag of mixed veggies to soak up more flavor and make it a one dish meal with basmati rice. We also like to serve it with yogurt and Indian Relish from this site. If we could give this 10 stars out of 5 we would.

This is an excellent recipe. I am of South Indian descent and have been making chicken curry for years. I've been looking for a great dry recipe and this is it. Only change is I start with 1 cup of water and add just a little more as needed. Please note the chili powder is an Indian spice - not to be confused with the other type of chili powder used in chili. Thanks Cooldude!

This was a nice meal I was affraid to make it!) However it ws pretty nice and spicy......... I had read previous reviews before cooking this and someone said that it may be a mistake to use chili powder. I went to a World Spices store to gather my spices and down the Indian section there was chili powder which was very different from american chili powder for chili
