This recipe is a hit! I admit I was leery of the amount of salt so I added much less and then had to add more at the end so I should have just stuck with the original suggestion. This tastes even better the next day. Makes quite a big batch too and I have frozen some of it. Thanks for another great recipe, Julia 🙂
I love this curry, I have made it a few times, adding extra cumin & curry powder, & it always pleases my family. Plus it’s very easy,
New family favorite!! This got Rabe reveiws from every single person, even the picky one!!
Great flavor! The salt level was a little high for my taste, which makes me question the 1/2 tbs of salt added to the water and chicken broth when adding the rice? But super good flavor and I was able to tame down the salt level by adding a little lime juice at the end when I added the coconut milk. I will definitely be making this again though! Another great recipe by Julia.
Julia, please rate the spice of curry. I have never eaten curry and probably because I think it is spicy. If it is easy to compare to other sauces or even meats, please do so. Thank you!
