Curried Chicken



Years ago I used to prepare a fabulous curried chicken. It took hours.  I finally got smart and invited friends to bring the toppings - the best part.

Dave, on the other hand, had an entirely different recipe seeing as how he spent his first six years in Malaysia. 

But the days of dueling recipes are over.  Last night we had a little dinner party.  We had chopped chicken in the freezer ready to go.  We put it in the pot, added several jars of Pakak's Korma Curry Simmer Sauce, cooked up a pot of Jasmine Rice and Voila!  We had curried chicken. 

Pictured here are our (easy) toppings:  Pineapple, raisins, chopped boiled eggs, peanuts, coconut, chopped scallions and mango chutney.

The toppings were good but they weren't the best part.  As Ann Landers used to say, To ensure a good dinner party, it's not what you put on the table that counts; it's what you put on the chairs.
