Burmese Chicken Curry image

This recipe is from Cooking Light and is one of my favorite chicken dishes. Yellow lentils (dal) are available where ever Indian foods are sold. Yellow split peas can be substituted. My experience has been that either one takes longer than 25minutes to reach tenderness, so I cook them ahead of time in a crock pot. Red lentils cook much quicker and can also be substituted. Serve over rice or Chinese egg noodles.

This curry is a bit too rich for my taste. I would prefer a lighter version.

This curry is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a very affordable dish to make.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garam masala and cayenne pepper to spice it up.

This curry is too spicy for me. I'll have to reduce the amount of chili next time.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try using a different cut of chicken next time.
