  Like you I found the Chilli Chicken bland .... strange as many others thought it fantastic, maybe they have never had good curry. I'll try your recipe .... I'm looking to find Low fat curry recipes.

  Well this version sounds lovely and really easy to make, which will be perfect for Friday night. My fella has his mate round to play on the Play Station, so this will be perfect for them. Plus i have most of the ingredients in already. I will be back to comment on it. Thanks Steph for putting it on the site, although i had difficulty in finding it, (not your fault, i must have been searching for it wrong) in the end i googled it and it gave me a link back to this site, and your recipe. Odd but i got there. x

  I have to say Steph, for such a quick curry this is pretty damn good. I was dubious at the point after adding the almonds and the sugar as it was a bit too sweet for my tatse. But rather than using chicken tikka I had marinated some chicken breast in a madras paste/yoghurt marinade and grilled before adding that and I think it was that which helped add a bit of a sour note which helped cut through the sweetness. So if you feel this curry is a bit sweet for you then a little yoghurt or a squeeze of lemon will help cut through the sweetness.

  Great curry - had hoped to keep some for lunch the next day, but everyone wanted second helpings so it was all gone! I flash-fried the chicken in 'Pataks' tomato and chili curry paste and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the recipe, will be making it over and over again!

  This is a top notch 1st class curry. I marinated my chicken in a sweet chilli mariade then flash fried it. It was very, very easy to make and I tripled my quantity. It was restuarant quality!!!!!

  The whole family loved this curry. I chose to blend the tomatoes, garlic, chillies and ginger into a puree then continued with the recipe as stated. I also substituted the chopped chicken for turkey, only because we are trying to be more lean !!! I will be putting adding this to my Fav.list. Many thanks for the recipe.

  I marinated some chicken breast fillets in madras curry paste (it was what was in the fridge) then oven cooked them for 15 mins. I also added a couple of handfuls of frozen veg for some extra vits at the at the same time as the chicken.

  This is a really lovely curry. However, it did need a little bit more bulk. I marinated my own chicken (in tikka paste for a few hours) then cooked the chicken. I then added some large chunks of onion, and then followed the recipe above. Was lovely.

  This curry was enjoyed by the whole family. My 12 year old even went back for 2nds. I chopped and cooked an onion to start with then added diced uncooked chicken, after browning off the chicken I then followed the recipe. I was unsure about added ground almonds, but so glad I did it was soooooo yummy. I've put this in my favourites.

  This was so delicious. Better than a take away & much healthier. I used two green chillies (& kept the seeds in) and added some green beans and flaked almonds as well. Definitely not bland. Thanks for a great recipe!
