     An authentic Indian "curry" is something like a stew, not just the name of the powder. Not all recipes for Indian curry include curry powder - it's just what we're accustomed to. It's the same idea as Chinese food we eat in a restaurant. It is usually not authentic Chinese food they eat in China. - 7/24/09

     love this recipe. ginger could be fresh (1/2 inch) or powder (1/4 tsp). its up to u how strong spices u want to use. you can also add ground cardamom powder, jsut a small pinch, while cooking. really adds flavor. also, i usually pressure cook for around 5 whistles. - 12/11/08

     Love it--was such a good change of pace, I did substitute white meat, and regular curry powder instead of the individual spices though - 10/2/08

     Substituted chicken breasts for drumsticks, and I too second using Penzey's curry spice. It works -wonderful-. Naan bread from Trader Joe's goes great. - 10/6/09

     I add a few red potatoes and green bellpepper. Served up with Homemade 7 Grain Bread and Fresh Spinach Salad. It's a winner! - 10/2/08

     Chillies are the smaller and skinny peppers
    Chapati: It is made from a dough of atta flour (whole grain durum wheat), water and salt. The dough is rolled out into discs of approximately twelve centimeters in diameter on a platform with a rolling pin. it is browned on both sides on a very hot pan - 10/2/08

     Well if it's curry chicken you really should add curry powder, I make curry chicken all the time and it's not curry chicken without the curry powder. - 1/5/09

     naan bread is just like pita bread
    if u put tomatos, golden onion, giner and garlic in a grinder with little water and zoom it then add it again to the chicken with other spices it also makes it very yummy - 12/12/08

     This sounds great, I plan to try it this week. For the person who asked where to get Tandoori you can purchase it at www.penzeys.com. - 10/2/08

     i saute the chicken first until golden brown. It gives it better flavor, i also add some frozen mix veggies. - 10/2/08

     There is no mention of ginger in the ingredients list and the type of chilies is not specified. I have made this recipe winging it with the ginger and using red pepper flakes. - 10/6/10

     This is similar to a Burmese chicken curry I prefer as onions and other traditional curry powders are used rather than bad oils or coconut milk, giving the outcome a healthier edge. - 8/1/10

     I make Guyanese Curry Chicken without Tomatoes and Ginger. We don't put those two ingriends with curry powder. Curry power already has its' color and flavor with bay leaves. Where is the Curry Powder? This is Stew Chicken due to the tomatoes. We also add Potatoes to the recipe. You would enjoy mine. - 12/13/09

     I agree with Jibbie 49--wouldn't you save a lot of calories by using skinless chicken breasts? - 12/12/09

     I love curry! This sounds simple and yummy. Maybe, I'll add some carrots and green beans. Can't wait to make it. - 7/24/09
  • GEORGIANNE1
     I'd like to try this. How much ginger? Fresh or ground? Is tandoori a kind of curry? And I'm not exactly which kind of pepper "chillies" would be? - 10/2/08

     I enjoyed this meal very much tonight. Had it with Naan bread and it was delicious. - 5/16/07

     We loved this recipe. Our hot curry powder made it extra spicy. The only down fall was I had a difficult time eating just one serving. - 1/11/14
