      I love ethnic foods, and Indian is one of my favorites! So I’d imagine that this is simply delicious. Curries are the best! I’ve never heard of a Habanero referred to as a Bonnet pepper – I love learning little things like that! Here lately I’ve been leaning towards vegetarianism, so I am going to use a protein substitute for the chicken. I’ll let you know how it goes! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂

      I make this Atleast 3 times a week! I adore curry, i was introduced to it when I was a little girl and the neighbors beside us from Jamaica had us over for dinner. My whole family loved it and it was a staple for us for the next 40 years and still is. I regularly look for new traditional dishes I haven’t tried yet, I’ll be looking at yours for sure!! So glad I chanced upon your page.
