This was tasty enough but I'm not sure it was worth the work. I have made much better 'from scratch' curries. Please note that you should remove the cloves cardamons and peppercorns from the sauce. Yes they soften up but biting into them unawares is NOT pleasant.
I wanted a kid friendly curry dish that my 3yr old would love. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Lots of spices but still pretty quick. I made a few changes to suit my needs: I used ground spices instead of whole I used 3tbs of brown sugar cut the pepper in half (which was still too much for my 3 yr old so I'll have to cut back even more) and used coconut milk instead of cream. I also added sliced bell pepper (red yellow green & orange) to make it a one dish meal. Served with brown rice. RAVES!! I think this will be our new spagetti...
Thought this was really good...my indian sister-in-law was also impressed.
I love curry but not this. It was not the bold curry flavor I was expecting. It was more of a subtle West Indian curry. The flavors were not great only OK. It actually took a while to make and the finished product was not worth the time investment. I would not make it again.
I have been making hot curry for many years - this is one of the best recipes I have ever tried. I like the whole seeds - it is like a party in your mouth!
Unlike some of the other reviewers I thought this was an EXCELLENT recipe. I used whole spices (and didn't remove them - they added extra flavor in different bites). I used a little extra of everything and particularly with the curry - I used 5-6 tbsp of Hot curry. I did the recipe with chicken thighs my hubby's preference and it was awesome. Serve with basmati rice and/or Nam bread and it would make a great treat!
Not really worth the time and effort. Sorry.
It was very good. My chicken ended up getting dried out but i think I just let it simmer too long!
Thumbs up for this quick tasty recipe.Kid friendly too.Worth trying!
