Do know that many Indians use ingredients "to taste"… in other words: they can list down all the ingredients, and then it’s kind of up to you to know how much of each. Keep in mind that some westerners might have a lesser ‘spicy hot’ tolerance than Indians: if that’s the case with you, only add 1 tablespoon of yellow curry powder. Once the dish is finished, you will know for next time if you would tolerate more.

We wrote this recipe down on a piece of paper and kept in a drawer in our kitchen for a long time… No inspiration for what to cook? Simply open the drawer, follow the best curry chicken recipe and 1 hour later, voila: enjoy!
