Chicken curry craving! Pls Help!

[Charlie Angel]

hey there
I'm pregnant again! And i am desperately craving chicken curry! My last few attempts have been shocking! Dont know what i'm doing wrong!! I was given a recipe where u put cooked chicken,vegs & curry powder & water in a saucepan. Cook until vegs were soft & then thicken it with a heaped spoon of cornflour in water. It comes out yuk & gluggy!:barf: What am i doing wrong? Does anyone have any better idea's or can tell me where i'm stuffing up?

many thanks!!

Hmmm ... the curries I cook don't have curry powder in them.

My basic curry, regardless of the meat and vegetables I use, contain the meat, onions, vege's .... and the following spices:

garam masala
cumin
cloves
cardamom pods
star anise
garlic
kaffir lime
salt and pepper to taste

Brown the onions and garlic, add the spices, brown the meat, then the vege's .... I either use crushed tomato's or light coconut milk depending on the flavour I want. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens - no need to use cornflour.

It's very easy ... and very tasty.
