Chicken Ceylon

Been meaning to make this for a while. Used the CA recipe. Seems like you have to be so careful with the lemon juice though.

I like this, consistency looks excellent.
Reminds me of a madras sauce?

Is this spicy?

Great effort.

Has a slight kick to it. A little less than a Madras I would say. These days I seem to go shy on the chilli when doubling recipes and sometimes wish I had added a little extra. Note however he whole chilli for my benefit.m ;)

Splendid stuff, RubyDoo.

I found it to be a beautifully balanced recipe, and although a little on the sweet side for this old chilli head, it's has become a firm favourite in my curry circle - and particularly liked by the ladies.

I can happily recommend using Chilli Jam to add that extra kick quickly to a dish at the end of the cooking time. Just mix it in and serve. You can even split the dish for those who don't go for the chilli kick if you plate theirs first then add the jam to the pan for yourself.

Or a touch of Mr. Naga pickle?  :P

Aye! Could be. I've never tried it for myself yet, but I must give it a go once my chilli jam supply is exhausted. :)

As one who worships regularly at the fiery altar of Mr Naga, this is one curry I wouldn't add it to, as it's such a well balanced recipe and Mr Naga has such a disctinctive (dominant) flavour and tends to transmogrify a dish.

Not suggesting that a Ceylon Naga wouldn't be unpleasant, mind. Just different!
