Notes

Spicier Version:

Change the amount of curry powder from 2 tablespoons to 3 tablespooons
Add in red pepper flakes to taste 1/4 teaspoon up  to 1 teaspoon.  I find the 1/4 teaspoon suites my family well.  Remember to add in a little at a time, test and add more if needed.  
If you find that you over spiced the sauce, you can add in 1 more can of coconut milk to dilute it some.
 

Substitutions:  

Replace the chicken with baked tofu
