Ingredients
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
- 1 large jalapeno chili, stemmed and halved
- zest of 1 lemon, about 1 tablespoon
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) chicken, cut into small serving pieces, skin removed
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- Salt, to taste
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Hot Madras Sambar Curry Powder
- 1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened 'light' coconut milk

Stir in the lemon juice, to taste and the cilantro. Serve with rice.

This was very flavorful, fragrant and has quite a kick! This tasted like my favorite Thai curry chicken take-out dish. I added a chopped Roma tomato & avocado f or extra flavor and served it with roasted cauliflower. Yum!

I followed this recipe as stated but used potatoes instead of carrots. I also couldn't find light coconut milk so used regular instead. It was flavorful but not as tasty as I expected.

This dish has some great flavors and if you follow the recipe step by step then you should come out with a very flavorful and tasty ethnic dish. The only issue I had with this recipe was that after all the ingredients were put together you really can pass this one off as either Indian or Thai. To make mine taste a bit more "Indian" so to speak, I added a can of diced tomatoes instead of the carrots, I added more curry powder than the recipe asked for, I added some plain yogurt as well as a teaspoon of garam masala. I let it simmer on the stove for a good amount of time and have to say it was very delicious!!!
