Indian Chicken Curry

I was inspired to make a homemade Chicken Curry to use up some of the left over Cranberry Chutney from Thanksgiving. I found this dish on what looked to be a somewhat authentic Indian recipe site. I was really pleased with the flavor and the color, in addition to how easy it was to prepare. I'm a wimp when it comes to heat in my curries, so this was very mild and perfect for me. I think hubby would have preferred it a little more hot. Oh well, I'm the boss in the kitchen, right? :)


 The Cranberry Chutney was an awesome addition. I served it over plain rice, but if you go to the original site, there are directions for a rice ring that sounds absolutely delicious.

3/4 cup cold chicken stock
