This was absolutely delicious. I followed the recipe exactly, apart from halving the quantity of meat, and three of us scoffed the whole lot! Oh, I also added extra curry leaves as I am quite addicted to them! I used a combination of low-fat and normal coconut cream. One suggestion is to soften the extra onion in the oil for a few minutes before adding the ground spices, because I discovered, when cooking them together, it was a bit dry and I needed to add extra oil. We will definitely make this again - it was so easy and tasty, and I was able to put my feet up before dinner as it bubbled away gently. Thanks Terese!
