This is so good- it really is easier than it seems. there are lots of ingrdients but worth it- and Trader Joe's has great frozen Naan ( indian flat bread) that goes perfect with this- of course, if you really want to cheat- Trader Joe's has a great Curry Simmer Sauce you just pour over chicken and cook.
