3. Tips

-Cutting the chicken into cubes while the chicken is still slightly frozen allows you to cut with much more ease and precision.

-Use a pair of clean scissors to cut the green onions.  This is a much easier and quicker way than using a knife.

-Toasting the curry powder allows for a fuller bodied taste and releases the nutty flavour.

-Leaving the skin on the apple will add more color to the plate.

-Make a double recipe - you will want seconds!
