  This was nice - easy to make once the chicken was marinated and left in the fridge overnight. I used less chicken about 800g (served 4) and 2tbsp of tandoori massala powder in the marinade as the powder I had was very strong. I used 1 tbsp of tandoori massala powder in the sauce too. It was very rich so next time I might use a bit more yoghurt to tone it down and breast chicken rather than thigh as cutting the meat off the bone was a bit time consuming.

  Outstanding recipe, one of the best curries I've ever had. I just used Greek yoghurt as I couldn't find coconut yoghurt. We used chicken breasts instead of thighs.

  I am a huge, huge fan of Indian cooking. So far, of all the recipes I have tried, nothing has come close to my fave Indian restaurant. This one did. This one is godly. This one is orgasmic. Absolutely delicious. I couldn't find coconut yoghurt either. I bought cream of coconut and melted it down over a low heat and mixed in the appropriate amount of yoghurt. TheKing thoroughly recommends this curry. 10/10.

  Amazed at the depth of flavour even when you don't marinate overnight. The nicest curry I have ever cooked at home that actually tastes better than the bland stuff you now seem to get at local indians! Thank you for sharing with us x

  The chicken was awesome. The sauce was good but a little too hot with all that chilli. I used greek yoghurt and creamed coconut as couldn't find coconut yoghurt, perhaps I shoudl have put a bit more of these to cool it down. Will definitely make again but reduce the chilli powder by half I think.
