In Ayurveda, the ancient healing philosophy of India, there are six key tastes: sweet, salty, sour, pungent, bitter, and astringent. All of these elements are represented in this beautiful curry. This dish can be served with Coconut Basmati Rice with Almonds or a simple green salad and is filling enough to be a complete meal. The sweetness of the raisins in the rice adds such a lovely balance to the spicy curry chicken.
