One of my wife's colleagues gave me this recipe for chicken curry. Elizabeth says,
It's not too authentic but deeeelicious and great for entertaining (it can be frozen and thawed the day of).
This is a simple way to make chicken curry at home and is not what you would find in authentic Indian cooking. If you are interested in learning more about the various types of curry, check out my post here.

Hello RG: What kind of red peppers did you use? Red bell peppers or some other kind of peppers?
