I have eaten a lot of Indian food from a variety of sources and I was not a fan of this. It was spicy, but flavor was lacking. I even added some coconut milk to help, but to no avail. I suggest trying a different recipe.

This could be really spicy for some people. The more you let it sit the better it taste. I didn't have the ingredients whole but I used them grounded. I would brown the chicken next time. I did add chicken stock, carrots and potatoes. I didnt have rice to go with it and I put two envelopes of Ramen soup noodles in the pot at the end and it was different but really good. Overall I found it very good and so my family. The second day though we all found it excellent. I originally gave 4 stars and I had to change it to 5.

Wow, this was a hot one! I too scaled down the red pepper flakes & peppercorns by half, added 1 cup bouillon & 1/2 cup heavy cream, but this was still hot enough that my husband (a lover of spicy foods) had to drink 3 glasses of soda to get through the meal. I would definitely recommend adding the extra liquids if you want a sauce to go along with this though. You won't have one if you don't! :)

This was my first time making curry and it turned out to be delicious! The one thing I will change for next time is to lower the heat by significantly reducing the red pepper flakes. My husband and I both love spicy food but this one was a bit too much for us!! Would probably be good with some coconut milk or cream, too. Delicious & easy!

I have made this recipe twice. Once following the recipe to a tee; the second time adding light coconut milk and cilantro as a previous reviewer suggested. It's "okay" as written (and very spicy if you add that whole T of red pepper flakes), but totally delicious with the coconut milk and cilantro! That sweetness really complements the spicy. I grind the clove and the cinnamon stick and also add yellow squash and whatever vegetables I have on hand in the last 5-7 minutes.

This recipe is super easy, and a great starter recipe for those that want to slowly approach cooking with the depth of spices in Indian cooking. I added about a cup of water to create the 'gravy', and some salt since I think it needed it. Served it with Basmati rice, balanced very well, also my kids enjoyed it. There is some depth missing though, not sure how I could have fixed that; I have had wonderful Indian food in the past, but I am not experienced in Indian cooking. Because of the ease, I will make again.

Easy, simple and Delicious. Its really yummy. I used Garam masala powder instead of coriander, cardamom, bay leaves, peppercorn seeds and cinnamon sticks, even though i had these things. I guess I was just being a bit lazy, but its still tastes great.

I did this on limited resources and it was delicious! I didn't have coriander, cardamom, bay leaves, peppercorn seeds, garlic ginger paste or cinnamon sticks! But ground pepper and ground cinnamon worked just fine. I added a cup of chicken bouillion broth to 1/2 cup of evap milk beacause it does require some add'l liquid. I like my curry sweet and hot so I added a tbsp of sugar, extra red pepper flakes and a tsp of chilli pepper. Add some potato chunks to simmer with your curry and it is hmmmmm good.

I don't know how it's possible to create gravy when there is NO LIQUID used aside from three tablespoons of oil. It's a mystery. Like KatieCat, I added a can of coconut milk, some chicken broth, and that improved it immensely.

I too am surprised at all the high ratings, I followed it exactly (with exception to many people's note of using ground coriander, and cloves) and in the end had very dry bland spicy chicken. Not wanting to waste my meal, I added a can of coconut milk and about 1/4 cup of brown sugar--- it is now edible, but still not going to try this one again.

This was exactly what I was looking for. I didn't have any cinnamon sticks but it still tasted great! I added a diced fresh chilli to add a bit more heat and added carrots, mushrooms and spinach to make it a little healthier. Great recipe, thanks.

Yummy and how! All I would change is to omit the red pepper flakes because I used a spicy curry. There are so many differnt curry.

Yummy! I added peas to this dish and used chicken tendors instead of breasts! This is a really easy recipe, especially if you work. Next time, I think I will make it a little more spicy.

Great taste. I forgot the bay leaves, and instead of ginger garlic paste I used canned ginger which I minced. Season the dish with some lime juice and salt.

Must add coconut milk! Gravy not runny at all until i did. Added extra flavor with no extra effort. May need to add additional spice to flavor to taste.
