  2. This is an extraordinary recipe. Can take a while to prepare all the spices – but it’s well worth the effort. Came across it by chance, googling for ways to make chicken curry in a pressure cooker. Have cooked it three times now for friends – and it’s mind-blowing every time. Thank you for sharing it.

  6. It came out good Maria and got 5 stars from hubby and kids. Just that I ground the tomatoes with the green paste as it fries faster and gives a good consistency to the curry. Thanks Maria for a good one and keep them coming.

    • Yes Connie one whole star anise spice. Sweet spice looks similar to black pepper it’s got a small thorn coming out of it. It gives a great flavor to curries and biryanis. If it’s not available just skip it. Have mailed you too! Do keep me posted how was your curry?

    • Thanks Anup sweet spice is also called as All spice which is a Jamaican pepper you could discard them if it’s not available. For more info on All spice click here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allspice. Also all spice resembles black pepper but it’s mild in taste hence also known as sweet spice. Hope this helps you and do keep me posted 🙂
