Burmese Chicken Curry image

This recipe is from Cooking Light and is one of my favorite chicken dishes. Yellow lentils (dal) are available where ever Indian foods are sold. Yellow split peas can be substituted. My experience has been that either one takes longer than 25minutes to reach tenderness, so I cook them ahead of time in a crock pot. Red lentils cook much quicker and can also be substituted. Serve over rice or Chinese egg noodles.

I'm not a fan of Burmese food, so I didn't really enjoy this curry.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler chicken curry recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my curry turned out bland. I think I might have used the wrong kind of curry paste.

This curry is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great served with rice or noodles.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut milk, so I used heavy cream instead. It turned out just as good, and it was still very flavorful.

This curry is so easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover chicken. I love the addition of coconut milk, which gives it a creamy and rich flavor.

This Burmese chicken curry is bursting with flavor and has a great balance of spices and coconut milk! It's very similar to Thai curry, but with its own unique Burmese twist.
