    A very easy and VERY tasty dish... I swapped out the Curry Paste for a Curry Sauce and doubled the quantity. This kept all the flavour but reduced the fat content further. A recipe for the keep book.

    The first time i made this i went a bit crazy with the madras curry paste and couldn't eat it as it was so spicy! I've made it since, reducing the amount of paste to about 1 tbsp and it is really nice. I just serve it with plain boiled rice and some salad leaves as there is enough flavour in the curry, really tasty.

    This is a lovely and easy dish. I used cherry tomatoes (all I had in the fridge) and extra spinach. We aren't veggie in our house, but this dish tasted great and was filling enough with rice that we certainly didn't miss the meat.

    This, is one of my fave recipes ever! It is so simple, very healthy compaired to most curries and you can swap around the veggies used to suit your tastes. Made it for me and my boyfriend 4 or 5 times so far and always turns out lovely. I follow the recipe exactly.

    Really simple and delicious. Everyone loved it, from 1 yr old to husband. I added in a couple of peppers I had in the veg rack and also threw in some chickpeas towards the end to up the protein content. Great recipe.

    Made tonight, very simple and very tasty, however I think my boyfriend would prefer something slightly creamier, do you think it would work with cream?

    I make this all the time, but i use butternut squash and sweet potato (Waitrose do a ready made bag of the two...perfect for this recipe) I also add chicken to it as my boyfriend wasn't keen on the idea of a veggie curry but it is lovely without in my opinion....always impresses friends when i serve it to them....
