Thanks for the recipe, Barbara, this was a big hit with my boyfriend and his parents last weekend! I even went to the trouble of making ghee to cook the spices in, and it was definitely worth it. All that was left was a bit of sauce, which we enjoyed for lunch the next day over basmati rice and topped with a poached egg. A poached egg makes everything good! ;) Yum!

I had to use bone-in chicken thighs instead of breast meat, but it still came out delightfully tender. I think it helped that I did marinate for a whole hour, and I left a bit of fat on the meat, which made the sauce even richer. I also used tomato paste instead of fresh tomatoes, and a number of my spices were already ground (I used your amounts and it came out just fine). Such a rich, satisfying meal - it fed me for days, and just got better with time! I'm not sure why everyone thinks it's an ugly dish... it isn't elegant, sure, but I don't think it's ugly. It looks like a thick, oven-red, homey curry. YUM! Barbara, I wanted you to know that I tried this last weekend, and it was absolutely FANTASTIC!

Just wanted to let you know that the dish tasted divine last night, after a day of standing! The flavours have mingled, mellowed and matured, resulting in a beautiful homely dish! Hi Barbara.
