    This was one of the best curry recipes & easiest curry recipes to do @ home. I added coconut milk in the cooking process & it made a good quantity of sauce which we prefer from a cuury. Also added broccolli, bulked it out. yummy!!

    I chose to make this for my first home made curry for my Husband, 6 year old and myself. Our plates were clear pretty quickly! We were all very impressed, will definitely make this again, and will be using other ingredients as others have used also. Very happy and very full :)

    Can this be frozen once the yoghurt has been added?

    Sadly I didn't find this much good - not very spicy or saucy so a bit bland. Perhaps I'll try again with more but add some chilli and use a can of chopped tomatoes to create a bit more of a sauce.

    I'm always put off making curry from scratch due to the long list of ingredients, and time, this one however was simple, inexpensive, and surprisingly delicious. Will become a regular in our house i think.

    . When I first added yoghurt, it separated so now I use creme fraiche which is creamy and delicious.

    This was so quick and easy. I found it quite hot with madras paste, but I like that. Was even better heated up the next day. I had no spinach but added yellow peppers which were lovely. Had no naan so served with toasted pitta instead - was actually v. nice & probably a lt healthier! Will become a mid-wk staple.

    Super quick, super easy! I made it into a green curry by replacing the madras paste with green curry paste, tomatoes with carrots and water/yoghurt with coconut milk. Very tasty!

    This was the first time I have cooked using a recipe and it worked really well. Flavours were great, recipe was easy to follow and the left overs the next day tasted even better. Will be cooking this again for years to come.
