I visited a friend in Bangladesh a few years ago and I have been unsuccessfully trying to recreate the great food I had there ever since then. I was searching for simpler curry recipes and I had a question about this one. What do you mean by "bruised" cardamom pods? I have purchased green cardamom pods before and they were very hard little things. Do you literally mean bruised (just on the surface) or more like completely "smashed" so the insides fall out? Also, do you use green or black pods for this recipe? I don't have enough experience to know what the different types are used for in all cases. Thanks for all your work. <em>Thanks FN, I've used te green cardamom in this recipe. By bruising, I simply mean crushing the cardamom pods slightly to break it on the outside so that it can release its flavourful aroma. I hope you try out this recipe, it's one of my oersonal favourites! </em> This is an awesome blog!

Thanks FN, I’ve used te green cardamom in this recipe. By bruising, I simply mean crushing the cardamom pods slightly to break it on the outside so that it can release its flavourful aroma. I hope you try out this recipe, it’s one of my oersonal favourites!

Your recipes are wonderful and easy to follow. Most times turns out well. Cannot help noticing that you nearly always use chicken breasts for your chicken recipes. Im my part of the world, ie. Singapore, fresh chicken are easily available and it is easy to debone them. You can also buy boneless legs from the market! I would think all your chicken recipes would taste even better if you use fresh chicken and especially the boneless legs. What say you? <em>You are so lucky! I would love to use boneless legs MC, if only they were available this side of the Earth! But alas, chicken breasts are what's most popular here, so they land up in many of my recipes. I do however, use boneless thighs as well and they taste great, so feel free to use whatever works for you. Thanks for connecting! </em> Hi Meena! Your recipes are wonderful and easy to follow.

In the list of ingredients it shows yoghurt but I don't find it in the recipe itself. But the recipe shows beaten curd?? <em>Don't worry Jean, yoghurt is also known as curd. They're both trhe same thing. Sorry for the misunderstanding though, I made the correction to the recipe. Hope that helps!</em> Just a query about the recipe.

Don’t worry Jean, yoghurt is also known as curd. They’re both trhe same thing. Sorry for the misunderstanding though, I made the correction to the recipe. Hope that helps!
