Sweet! I love chicken curry. I generally cook it from a box but this is simple enough, even I can cook it. Thanks B!
Hey Bridget, I was preparing to go to the store and get these ingredients and was wondering if you could tell me what exactly is “A few whole spices”.
Help me, I’ve been dreaming of chicken curry for a week now!
Hi Conrad, the few whole spices refer to cloves, cardamom and cinnamon. You could use about 4 cloves, 3 cardamoms and 2 small peices of cinnamon bark. Good luck with the Chicken Curry. let me know how it turns out.
