"The original recipe was clipped from either the local paper or a magazine and was said to be a basic curry from India. Curry is a more recent favoured dish at our house. When it comes to Curry this recipe remains my favourite go to as it's so easy and allows for using the ingredients I have on hand and best of all we love it! We like the coriander seeds a little finer than I manage in the mortar and pestle so am designating a grinder for just that purpose. I liked that the original recipe allowed for choices, you may add chicken, shrimp or any of the vegetables you like used in curries. The possibilities are endless!"

We so thoroughly enjoyed this curry! The heat is perfect for us. I peeled the red bell pepper as I can not eat the skin, and used cut up fresh haricots verts. And served this over thinly sliced sautéed cabbage. This will see many repeats. UPDATE 11/14/22: Have made this wonderful recipe several times now and it has become one of our favourites! Do add lemon pepper and lemon juice at the end. Thank you Gerry for sharing! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.

This is a very tasty curry with just enough heat to make it interesting. I made it when my son was coming over for dinner so he could try it. He and I both give it thumbs up and I enjoyed the leftovers for lunch at work. I wouldn't change a thing and it will be enjoyed again by us! Thank you for posting it for us to try Gerry! Linda
