Absolutely delicious, and that was the opinion of my husband and daughter too. It's full of flavour & great with naan bread. Used a chilli & it wasn't too spicy - would add an extra one for hubby & me next time. Used single cream rather than double & it worked fine. May try creme fraiche next time to reduce the naughtiness factor further.
Our daughter & son in law wanted to make a speacial tea for fathers day ....
After much deliberation this recipe was seleted by all and I have to say the outcome was lovely! The smell coming from the kitchen was that of an authentic Indian curry & it certainly tasted delicious too - one we will repeat in our house for sure (They used coconut milk in place of the double cream though!)
