Fijian Indian variation. (or at least how my mate from Fiji does it)
Add some extra turmeric, a good quantity of curry leaf and a cup or so of frozen peas and corn.

Check where to add the salt!!!

Ah, sorry CS, didn't realise that -- my reference to "the video at the top of page 1" was in that case not at all helpful, for which I sincerely apologise.

I'd already done it for my own recipe collection so it was no effort to copy and paste.  Videos are a great resource but I prefer to use a piece of paper in the kitchen.

Just wanted to add my own recommendation to this recipe. I made it with skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks, both on the bone, and skinned it and picked it off the bone as I ate. I cooked the onions for about 40 minutes then let the meat simmer for about an hour since I wasn't in a hurry and served it with a plate of rice. I found the sauce very rich and almost creamy and the meat delicious. For the record, I used (the last of!) chewytikka's mix powder.

Further up the thread, I saw someone threw in some potatoes - I can certainly see that working very well and might try adding some myself if I ever to make it extra filling.

Thanks Chris for posting the recipe!

Just as a point of interest, when you say :

do you mean you did not eat the skin ?
