Oh my! I have never had curry in my life but figured if u made it then I would give it a whirl…. So glad I did!! Another hit in my books. I noticed the peppers weren’t in the directions but I watched the videos when I cook so I saw to put them at the end but you may want to edit that.
This so simple but very tasty! I’m 73 and have health problems that are making it hard to be on my feet for very long. I can sit down to do the chopping, & the cooking is very fast. I don’t like spicy hot foods, & the heat level on this is fine. Thank you for this tasty recipe.
Made this for supper tonight and it was delicous. I have just recently been trying foods with curry after my first visit to a Thai restaurant and discovered how tasty the food is and how I can control the amount of heat. This was a perfect recipe to have a taste of curry at home. Thank you, Julia!
This turned out absolutely delicious! I couldn’t find curry paste at my store so I just subbed additional curry powder and it worked great. I noticed that you may have forgotten to include when to add the red pepper in the written recipe. Thanks for helping me feed my family!
