I just discovered your channel, and I just laughed with delight all through your demonstration of cooking the spices -- such specific measurements written on the screen, while you confidently add your ingredients right out of the container, "measuring with your heart." Love, love, love this! Can't wait to try this wonderful-looking curry, and looking forward to trusting my own heart instead of obsessively leveling each teaspoon of everything for fear I'll make a mistake. Thanks for the culinary inspiration and encouragement!

Thanks for watching Marion ! And thanks for the great comment ! Always remember cooking is an art and art sometimes gets messy and is never perfect , Enjoy the coming recipes 🍺😬

I’ve lived in Texas for more than 20 years so my cooking is very influenced by the food and flavors here. Aside from Bobotie I seldom make dishes from home … your channel has inspired me to include more South African dishes.

We make almost identical in New Zealand, but only half that puree and water can and a couple of hundred mls of cream. Yum. But we brown the chicken first, then reserve. Put it back later.

Hi Siyanda not at all , as soon as the tomatoe heats up it breaks down the sugars and adds a very aromatic flavour especially when combined with cardamom 😀

Nice, easy to follow video. This is the basic method I use to make all my curries. I use different spice blends, depending on my food mood, but this is the method. (ps I like to buy whole spices and grind them myself, make my own blends. But I am retired now and need a creative outlet to keep me out of trouble haha)

Good flavor profile but the chicken would benefit froma fast sear to brown the skin and add some additional flavor. But then it might not be authentic to the original but IMO a fuller flavor.

Great recipe can’t wait to try, but you omitted fresh tomatoes and potatoes from your ingredients list xxx

I worked with an Indian lady in Durban and she taught me to make Durban Curry. She told me to never add water to a curry, the tomatoes will give you the gravy. If you want more gravy, you add more tomatoes. I've never used water in curries and I've always got lovely thick gravy. She told me to use Breyani mix (in US I use whole garam masala) as it has all the ingredients needed for spices. Different styles I guess.

What can you use instead of masala powder? Would ordinary curry powder do the trick?
