The inspiration for this recipe comes from a West African soup recipe in Nancie McDermott’sThe Curry Book.

With a little less broth and a lot more chicken you have a great peanut curry dish.

Control the level of hotness you want with the amount of chili.

Add chicken pieces in batches, being careful to not crowd the pan.

Cook 2-4 minutes per side, or until the coating sets and browns a little.

Remove the chicken from the pot as it cooks and set aside in a bowl.
