Hi, I cook a lot of Indian and Pakistani food. I love your recipe, I did however add a tablespoon of tomato paste and a tablespoon of curry paste just to give it that extra kick, but I love the easy way of preparing it. Thank you.

Thanks so much for this recipe Jack, it’s a firm family favourite now! Even my elderly father who lives with us loves it and he claims that he “doesn’t like curry”. He asked for this as his birthday meal this year! I always make whatever my family wants for their birthdays. If we’re lucky enough to have leftovers of this they get devoured FAST by my husband and father. Another bonus is that this is so easy to make and is sure to impress anyone who eats it. It’s definitely good enough for dinner parties too. I’d love to see you create some special themed dinners such as a Sri Lankan dinner party, etc. Just a thought of ever you’re looking for some content ideas. I make so many of your recipes, they’re always on rotation in this home. Your recipes NEVER fail, I know if something looks good in a video it’s going to taste amazing too. I almost always make the rice the way you suggest for each recipe using it because it’s just an added touch to make a meal feel a little more special and cooked with love for the family I love. Besides, it’s really nice to have touches of extra flavour in rice that I wouldn’t otherwise have made on my own. Thanks you so much for all the time and effort you put into creating such outstanding content.

Chef this dish was just outstanding- the absolute best I’ve ever had!! Thank you for sharing with us.
What is the name of the company of the gray/taupe pottery bowl you used to transfer the chicken thighs to? I have been searching for a year! Thank you.

I’ve made this recipe several times now - usually when I make a curry it’s a 24 hour job (including overnight marination). This is a delicious weeknight curry that comes together with minimal effort, and yields a brilliant gravy that has a great depth of flavour. Love it! Thanks for the recipe 🙌 a really fantastic channel, glad to see it’s finally blowing up! It’s helped me improve my knife skills and transform my culinary skills. So far I’ve made the honey glazed carrots 🥕, salmon with crunchy Asian slaw, duck fat spuds, this curry and several other of your dishes. You & Bruno Albouze have the best YouTube channels for dinners and desserts. Very keen to see what’s in store for the new year!

Rose ★ 5.0/5

I made this for some friends a few days ago and they loved it! It was so good, the chicken was so juicy, the curry was nice and creamy. Will make it again.

I didn't think such a simple, quick recipe could be so tasty! What a perfect blend of flavours, that sauce is to die for. Thanks Jack!
