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.

I love this easy recipe! I recommend adding coconut milk and wrapping the pods, bay leaves and other unedible ingredients in cheese cloth.

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.

I added veggies (onions, red peppers, broccoli, carrots) and mixed in non-fat yogurt after the cooking process, which added creaminess and volume to the sauce.

Whomever said "spicy yet bland" was very much correct. Not inedible, but I certainly will not cook this again.

Not great. 1. What Gravy? I added a mug of boiling water and 250g halved cherry tomatoes (I would have used chicken stock and/or chopped tomatoes, but I didn't have any) 2. The cardamon pods were killers when I bit into one. 3. The cloves were killers when I bit into one! 4. The coriander seeds were killers when I bit into one!! (the above could have done with being ground). 5. The black peppercorns wern't great whole either. All-in-all not the best (infact probably the worst) curry I've had, although it has some of the basics of a good curry. I'm honestly suprised at the number of 4-5 stars reviewers have given it.

Yummy curry not so yummy. I followed this exactly. Had a hard time find whole green cardamom pods. Still I was going to make this as written, so I waited until I found some. I did remove the bay leaves, cinnamon stick before serving. It was about a three star UNTIL I SANK MY TEATH IN TO A CLOVE. Even without this happening we all thought it had a kick to it but needed something (salt-maybe). After learning more you should not use curry powder but make you own curry. Curry is not a spice but a blend of spices

It was pretty good. I made my own ginger garlic paste(the recipe is on this site). I felt that it needed more flavor. So I added salt to it which was a bit better. Next time, I'll fry the onion with the chicken more before adding the rest of the ingredients. I think that will give it more flavor.

'Gravy will be runny' - what gravy?! Initially, all I had was a big sticky lump of chicken, so I stirred in a generous glug of heavy cream. I've discovered that the flavor of 'curry powder' varies greatly from brand to brand, but this time I used Sharwood's, and I ended up with something like a chicken Korma but with a spicy red pepper kick. Not bad at all. Thanks!

Great recipe and a sure winner. Recommended modifications: use fresh cilantro and add coconut milk (lite or regular) and chicken bouillion for additional flavour. Enjoy!

I restrained myself from modifying the ingredients due to the reviews (I always modify everything). Glad I did! My husband is from India, and he is picky about his food. Boy was I tempted to use garam masala (that my husband's Mom made) instead of the curry powder (real indian curries never use curry powder, please!). Well my husband loved this, said it tasted like his Mom's. The only thing I did different was I cooked it more traditionally-I browned the onions in oil first, then added the ginger garlic, then the spices, stirred it for a couple minutes, then proceeded with the chicken and continued. It did need a little water added to it. And to the person who wrote "however, next time, I will crush the coriander seeds before using them" all I have to say is-Ya Think? Thanks for the easy recipe!

I didn't like this at all, but my husband said it was ok (I'll go with his star rating as he's from India and knows more about the food than I). I keep going back to the recipe to see what I missed - there was nothing to simmer. The chicken thighs gave off a little liquid, but not enough to get a good simmer going. I added more of the spices and then even tried to doctor it up a bit with garam masala and some other spices, but no dice. I cook Indian food all the time and this one just doesn't do it for us - which is a shame as these are all pretty standard ingredients in our house.

I love Indian food. I did not like this recipe. I would like to think I messed up the ingredients. I am an excellent cook and this is an easy recipe. I found it to be too sweet. I used minimal red pepper (kids)and ground coriander. I also had no cardamom. I think this could have made a difference. Even though, I still think this recipe is lacking something.
