I traveled in India for 4 months and have not tasted curry this authentic since I was there 10 years ago! I do have to say that I cheated a bit and used Vindaloo Seasoning from Penzey's Spices for the curry powder Tyler made from scratch. I noticed the ingredients in the Vindaloo Seasoning were basically the same and it turned out fabulously! I can't wait to make it again.




VERY GOOD CURRY

This dish came out so tasty. After I made the curry powder I was a little afraid to use it because it didn't smell like curry it smelled like perfume! I decided to go ahead and use it and I'm glad I did. Once it all cooked together with the coconut milk and everything else it definately smelled like curry. I added lentils and small diced potatoes as well. Next time I will par boil the potatoes because they took so long to get tender. I also added another tablespoon of the curry and when we finally ate it still tasted like it could have used more curry. Maybe because I added the potatoes and lentils. Bottom line-this was a 10 star+ in our house!

I had no idea what I was doing the first time I made this. I made only a half recipe, and it was so good that I couldn't wait to make it again the same week! The recipe is really easy to follow but it helps to prep all of your ingredients beforehand so that the rest goes quickly. This combination of spices is heavenly! If you want to impress your dinner guests, this one is worth the effort.




Runny

The flavor of this dish was fine, but the consistency was way too runny. I had to add a bunch of cornstarch just to get it to a stew consistency. For the money and time spent, it really wasn't worth it.




Great dish!

I LOVE this recipe!! As does my husband. I have altered it a bit each time I make it. I am using hot curry powder from the Indian market. I, too, found it not being as thick as I would like. I now stir in a little corn starch dissolved in water. I am having a dinner party this weekend and am making two batches, one with chicken and one with vegetables for my vegetarian guests.

great recipe to follow. the only item that i changed was that i added 3 fresh red chiles instead of the dried chiles. yes, it did make the meal spicy but that is how we like it.

This is the first time I ever tried to make curry. I was "wow-ed" by the curry powder. It was delicious. I made the cucumber side with the curry. Was so good. Will definitely make it again.




This is a great recipe

I saw the show a couple of weeks ago and decided to make the recipe. I have made curried chicken and it was good, but this recipe is much better because it really allowed for fresher ingredients. Between the making the curry powder, ghee and the actually, it took me about the approximate time as stated in the recipe instructions. I didn't have a cheese cloth to strain the ghee and just used the my strainer, but the desired results were excellent with the clarified butter having that nice nutty flavor and taste. The smell of the dish was fabulous and everyone who ate mentioned how good it looked and tasted. I will be making this recipe more often as well as making the curry powder. There is a big difference in buying curry powder and making it yourself. I am a satisfied person. Thanks.

The Mystery of the Missing Ingredient

User: Anonymous    User Rating:
The missing ingredient that previous reviewers were trying to deciphur was CHICKPEAS! Unfortunately, it was omitted from the recipe. As a world traveler and having spent some memorable & magical times in India, Tyler Florence's curry recipe is as authentic & delicious and perhaps even better than the ones that I have experienced during my world travels.

ULTIMATE Chicken Curry
08/07/2007 at 09:33pm
User: Jeanette from La Habra Heights, CA    User Rating:
I thought I was in trouble ... I didn't have tomato paste or dried chilis, but improvised, and it came out perfect. The tomato paste substitution was ketchup, and I had fresh chilis that worked perfectly. Not sure what that Ghee thing was about, but I skipped that. Oh -- also added, in place of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tomato: fresh green beans, and sliced white mushroom. Simmered at the tomato step. Also, let the chicken "steep: in cilantro, green onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper for about 3 hours.




Great - fast and yummy

First time cooking curry. I will probably never go out for curry again!! I was looking for something spicy and creamy and this truly satisfied my appetite. Will definitely be adding this one to my favorites.




Finally - Indian at Home!

The only changes I usually make are boosting the amount of spices/dried chilies. Other than that, I scoop mountains of it over rice and dig in with nice piping hot naan. Yummy!

Spicy!

I didn't expect this recipe to be so spicy, but it turned out amazingly well anyway. I left out a lot of ingredients that I thought were unneccesary (lime, cinnamon stick, substituted garlic cloves with garlic powder, etc.) but the basic elements were enough to carry the dish. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and used chickpeas instead of chicken (vegetarian). I served with a side of fresh baked Naan bread to take off the edge on the spice. For those who have trouble getting the sauce to thicken, I would say that this is a curry dish, and like most curries, is best served on the second day. If the sauce is too thick the first day, it tends to get really chunky the second.




Easy to cook and Yummy to eat.

My husband loves indian and thai food - and my stomach ulcers don't. So this was a great compromise. I actually threw the tomatoes in with the onions instead of at the end, and pumped up the cinnamon a bit. Then we threw it on top of Emeril's curried rice pilaf and YAY!!! It was the PERFECT combination of hot, spicy, and sweet....a great compromise bw the real deal and somthing that won't put me in the hospital. YUMMY!! let's say it together....LAYERS.




this is my favorite curry recipe!

I tried to make this the other day, and it turned out so good! I am a huge fan of curry and have tried a ton of it and this actually tasted better than most of the curried that I've gotten at restaurants around here. I am already craving it again and I will definitely make this over and over. I think I'll try making it wiht lamb next time.

I had to add more chilies as I didnt thik itwas hot enough. I also added lentils, which thickened up the curry and added nice texture and flavor.




is it just me?

this recipe looked great and I can't wait to try! However, is it just me or did it look like there was corn in the curry on the show? I missed the essembly part and when I got back to the show tyler had already added all the stuff. Then after looking at the recipe on here and not noticing "corn" as an ingredient it threw me off... HELP!!!!

This recipe was fantastic and I will be making this again and again. To save time I made up triple recipe of the Ghee, placed all the ingredients in a plastic bag, mixed well and now all I have to do is scoop out 3 Tblsp. of the already made up ghee instead of making it again.




this is great!!!!

The kids didn't love this one as much as I did, but I think they will learn to love it as I will cook it once a week from now on. I used low-fat coconut milk, which cut down on some of the fat content, and just used store-bought curry powder in the interest of time. I served it with green beans sauteed in ghee and garlic, perfect complement!

I really believe the key to this is making your own curry powder. Gone are the days of store-bought powder in my house. Get a coffee grinder and make your own. My sister, a self-proclaimed curry-hater, really liked this dish. It was awesome.

I didn't see the episode where he made this, however i'm a good follower of instructions. I followed this recipe to a T. My sauce never thickened, though. I added the chicken broth and coconut milk and let it simmer for 20+ minutes. The result was very soupy and not even spicy. I'm sure this was not supposed to be the end product. I had such hopes. :(




wonderful and easy

This is a great dish to impress your friends and family with your Indian cooking skills. You can even buy the Garam Masala in the supermarket and it still tastes good.

Based on the other reviews, except one, I apparently did something wrong. I, too followed the recipie to the letter and my sauce never thickened. Ended up thickening it with cornstarch, but then had to add more spices because it became bland. Made the Garam Masala as instructed and have leftovers to try again - at a later date. The aroma and color was wonderful, once thickened and re-spiced it was pretty good. Used chicken breast this go round, will try with lamb next. All in all, it was somewhat easy.




BRAVO!!!!

I knew I was going to like this recipe the minute I finished making the Curry. It was so fragrant. I seared the chicken for some color before I cut it into strips. I will keep this recipe. Thanx Tyler.

Needed some tweeking but good flavors in the end. I only used 1 cup of chicken broth. I added 1 TBSP extra of the curry powder (that could be due to the brand I bought). I added a few pinches of cinnamon because my stick must have been old and didn't notice any flavor from it. I used 1 dried chili and it wasn't hot enough so I added a few drops of hot chili oil. I made the Ghee but couldn't really taste the difference between it and clarified butter? Still a good recipe though.
