HARA MASALA CHICKEN



Hara Masala Chicken image

Another of my Balti recipes, get the wok out.This is a lighter curry, creamy, sexy, and wonderful to eat. As I live in Spain I tend to serve this as a tapas when friends call in for a drink. often I serve this with noodles as a change from rice. Cooking time of less than twenty minutes make this a must cook dish for those of you who are busy.The use of a apple and a few dates give a different slant to curry.
