    Simply Recipes: Chicken Curry in a Hurry Recipe

    This looks good – we would try it with the yogurt and without the cilantro, as my husband David can't have the sour cream and doesn't like the taste of cilantro.  Simply Recipes: Chicken Curry in a Hurry Recipe If you want to use yogurt instead of sour cream, just make sure that the yogurt sauce never simmers.
