This is really good: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/murgh-makhani-indian-butter-chicken/detail.aspx

I substitute about two thirds of a cup of non-fat yogurt for the cup of half and half and it's still amazing.

This is one of my all-time favourite Indian recipes - made for the slow cooker:

INDIAN BUTTER CHICKEN (OR CHICKPEAS)

2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp ground cumin
2-3 tbsp yellow or red curry paste
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1 cup tomato sauce
3/4 cup coconut milk
8 skinless, bone-in chicken drumsticks and thighs (approx. 3 lbs)

Directions

1. Melt butter and pour in slow cooker. Stir in all ingredients except chicken.
2. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to sauce. Turn chicken to coat.
3. Cook on high setting for 2 1/2 hours or low for 5 hours.
4. Serve over rice or with naan.

NUTRIENTS PER SERVING (2 PIECES OF CHICKEN): 343 calories, 23 g fat, 42 mg calcium, 493 mg sodium, 8 g carbohydrates, 1 g fibre, 22 g protein. Good source of niacin.

TO REDUCE FAT: use light coconut milk instead of regular

TO MAKE VEGETARIAN: substitute 2 cans of chickpeas for the chicken (which will also reduce the fat)

TO MAKE VEGAN: substitute 2 cans of chickpeas for the chicken and vegan margarine/butter for the butter (I've used Earth Balance and it's awesome)

Here's another one:

RED LENTIL DHAL

Serves 4

This recipe always turns out rich, spicy and satisfying. Using curry paste (sold by the jar) makes it fast and simple to prepare.

Ingredients

1 cup red lentils
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon oil for frying
3 cups water
1-2 tomatoes, chopped (optional)
Cinnamon stick (optional)
1 tablespoon Indian curry paste
Salt to taste

Directions

1. Carefully sift through the dry lentils and remove any tiny rocks.
2. In a large pot, sauté onion with oil and curry paste until softened.
3. Add rinsed lentils, water and optional tomato and cinnamon stick.
4. Bring to a boil then simmer covered at a low boil for up to an hour until the lentils become creamy.
5. Salt to taste.
6. Serve as a soup or over rice.

So I went to play in a pool (billiard) tournament in Kitchener, Ontario and right beside was "Rainbow Caribbean Cuisine" restaurant. I ordered the Curry Chicken which had potatoes in there as well. This was the best curry I have had since my friends Aunt use to make some for me 20 years ago.

I would love to know how to make this type of Curry that is served over a bed of rice(with kidney beans) with the sauce and potatoes and maybe i would put peas in the curry as well.

Rainbow Caribbean Cuisine restaurant is a bit of a hike at an hour away but so yummy that I may have to go back if I can't perfect this recipe.

Anyone??? I really hope so.

Not sure if Caribbean Cuisine is the same as Indian, I think it's different. You might try to find it in a Caribbean cookbook?

Maybe this?
