Introduction

This is a cross between an Indian curried chicken (what it started out as) and a down home southern stewed collards with pot liquor and big old chunks of chicken. I liked it, and it smells really good from all the spices. If you are always looking for new ways to get greens into your diet, here's a new way! Enjoy and let me know what you think. WARNING: I like things pretty spicy, so you may want to start small with some of the spicier ingredients and work your way up.
