I'm a curry head and this recipe is gorgeous having made it twice now in a week. These are quality recipes and as soon as I can get on top of my fuel bills I shall be investing in book 1 of your publications.

This is on the stove bubbling away right now (6:30 pm). I've tried your other chicken recipes and have not been disappointed. I can't wait to try this one.
And - can I say - I love how you enjoy your food. Some chefs and home cooks on YT seem like they are putting on a show and would never eat their own meals! But you are so genuine and authentic. Thank you for sharing!

I usually make Gujarati food, but wanted something like a Bengali/Pakistani chicken curry. This was amazing, I added chickpeas, spinach and green chillies and everyone loved it! The chicken was so soft and had 3 levels of flavour, the chicken, the spice and the yoghurt. Will definitely be making this again!

Hello! I finally gave it a shot following your recipe, and it turned out AMAZING! I didn’t use a whole chicken though. I had some bone in chicken thighs and just took the skin off and used those.
I was wondering, what would I use to up the heat on this? My boyfriend likes his curry HOT.
Thank you!!!

Just made this curry. It is absolutely delicious. Thank you to Ian Dunn below who has so kindly set out the recipe. Re the sauce, Ian has recorded 1 tbsp of cumin seeds whereas listening to Chetna, it seems 1 tsp will do. Whatever, I am so chuffed with myself for having made this curry. I used 1 heaped tsp of "hot" chilli powder which left my mouth zinging a half an hour after wolfing a bowl of it down. The fragrance of all the spices now permeate my flat. Thank you, Chetna for such a delicious recipe.

Hi Chetna, I also tried this today and it was delicious! I added cauliflower and chillies (maybe not enough, it was quite mild) but the flavour was delicious. I used chicken thighs too because it was easy. Thank you!

[smikers]

Cooked tonight and loved it. I've saved some for the next day too, I bet it's even tastier. Thanks for the recipe x
