Hope it turns out well - the secret is to cook the curry spices in the onions for at least 5 minutes to release their oils... Add a little more oil to the pot if you need when you add the chicken or other meat... I use canola or vegetable oil.
I find that after cooking this, the whole house smells like curry but I don't mind! I used to make big batches and freeze in small containers for lunches but now my arms don't work so have not made it in a while...
