Quick, easy and tasty! -
Yum!!!!! So easy! I used leftover chicken from a roasted chicken, last night and through in some red pepper flakes to spice it up even more. What a kick! Love this soooooooooo easy recipe. -
I have to disagree with Leah, in my opinion this doesn't taste much like Coco Ichibanya at all (that place prompted my search for a curry I could make on my own-how else would I be able to have yummy curry after we move?). But, from what I can see this recipe wasn't shared as a copycat recipe of Coco Ichibanya. So, that being said, I think it was really good. I tried it after I made it, and wasn't impressed. Reheated for lunch the next day, and found it pretty appealing. It must be a curry-thing: try it once, diss it. Try it twice, it's ok. Try it 3 times, you love it! This recipe was easy to follow and I think it turned out pretty good. I added a bit more curry powder to mine, and since I couldn't decide if I wanted to go with just milk & broth or coconut milk & broth, I combined some of all 3 & that turned out well. Not sure if my husband will try it since he is hooked on Coco Ichibanya, but I think it will work fine for me when I no longer live on Okinawa and want some curry! Thank you for posting, this was easy & tasted great. -
This looked good (the cooking the curry along with the butter sounded good) and surprisingly simple. I just tried it and it is delicious; it is something special. -

What a great find! I made this dairy-free and wheat-free by substituting light coconut milk for the milk, soy margarine for the butter, and a gluten-free mix for the flour (allergies). I used the amount of salt originally called for (1 1/2 tsp) - for us 1 to 1 1/4 tsp would be perfect. This was easy, quick, and good - there's more flavor here than we expected from a pre-made curry spice mix. Served it over rice with raisins, bananas & canned pineapple chunks. Thank you - we'll make this again!

I tried this tonight and it was delicious!! I did however make a few changes, I skimped on the butter quite a bit- only used 2T. and it worked fine. Next time I might use olive oil instead of butter. I also used coconut milk instead of milk. I cant imagine making curry without coconut milk! My husband and I were also debating what other things we could top it with....peas, broccoli, carrots, mandarin oranges, cashews. It would be a great recipe for a dinner party because everyone could add the toppings to their liking. Very tasty- we will definitely be adding this one into our rotation!
