And is sure to please the curry lover in you.

You can add in coconut milk during the last 10 minutes of cooking if you’d like for a more creamy taste. Personally I much prefer a more authentic curried taste myself and will omit the coconut milk for this recipe.

Also you can replace the chickpeas with potatoes if desired for a more traditional taste.

If you choose to add potatoes instead you may want to add a bit more chicken stock

And you can also replace the Scotch Bonnet pepper with the sauce as seen below.

I will leave that all up to your personal preference.

Using the sauce, prevents me from burning my eyes with the peppers so I much prefer to use this instead.

Notes: Do not pressure cook chicken with the bones on as this may create loose bones in the curry.
