    The chicken was so tender and the sauce was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

  • Taryn Bernhard

    I was a bit skeptical about the amount of spices, but it turned out perfectly balanced. My family loved it, and it's definitely going into our regular rotation.

  • Naomi Howe

    This recipe is spot on! The sauce is so creamy and flavorful, just like my favorite curry house. I added a bit more cayenne pepper for extra heat!

  • Eriberto Adams

    Easy to follow and delicious! I used coconut cream instead of heavy cream to make it dairy-free, and it was still amazing.
