Need a red velvet cake recipe and a good Indian chicken curry recipe? Either or?!


Question:

Need a red velvet cake recipe and a good Indian chicken curry recipe? Either or?

I want to make a very rich red velvet cake for a friend of mine but I want a recipe that someone has tried. If you have tried a good recipe that involves alot of chocolate please share. If it gets complicated that's fine :P.

Next.... I need a good spicy chicken curry recipe. None of my Indian friends will tell me how to make it because they think I can't eat spicy foods (totally not true). I love curry but I want to know how to make it. My mom's recipe is bland and flavorless. I want to show he a new way to make it that doesn't come from Betty Croker.

If you can help me out with either of these I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
