  Like the look of this! However if I don't have curry leaves what can i use to replace them?

  Although there were lots of lovely ingredients in this recipe, the finished result seemed to lack taste. I did put salt in which the recipe suggests but felt it still needed something more.

  I agree with Frantic Flapjack in that this was a bit bland. If I make this again I will miss out the 200ml water and put more chillis in.

  This is nice, and goes well with the raita. A couple of tips - squeeze some of the moisture out of the cucumber as it makes the raita too runny otherwise. And also, the first time I did this it took forever for the potatoes to cook, especially if you do cut them into large chunks. The second time I made this I part-cooked the potatoes for around 12-15 minutes and then added them to the curry to cook for a further 20 mins. Also used a sachet of cream coconut and 400ml extra boiling water rather than a tin of coconut milk which can be quite sweet.

  Nice, although the mustard seeds added a bit of a strange, caviaresque texture. Did I not prepare them properly? I used a teaspoon of curry powder (I reduced all ingredients by half) instead of curry leaves, incidentally.

  I liked this, but agree with the previous comments that it was slightly bland. Added a LOT of salt, as well as upped the amount of spices (3 heaped tsps instead of 2 tsps). Also added a squeeze of lemon juice. Got a thumbs up from us!
