  I enjoyed this, but prefer a similar recipe which I've been doing for years. Omit the chillies and ginger, add ground coriander, oregano and 4oz cheddar cheese. Top with yoghurt. The cheese with the cumin and coriander is a wonderful flavour.

  This was delicious, but there was a lot of thin liquid. Is the amount of tomato paste or the quantity of liquid wrong?

  This was lovely and light - i did find it needed a bit more chilli, so i added a little more chilli powder and a couple of tablespoons of creme fraiche to thicken the sauce. Served it with some rice and chapatis - very nice!

  Not bad for a quick veggie curry. Made it before work so the flavours could develop over the day. Used a tin of plum tomatoes and didn't add any water - consistency was just fine. Next time will make sure I've got some fresh tomatoes as it would be much nicer!

  This is great for lunchboxes with pitta breads. Didnt use fresh tomatoes used tin of plum tomatoes and the jucie. Found this was enough so didnt add the water as other people said it was a bit runny. Come out great also flavour gets better after freezing.

  Really nice. I made it on Sunday and had it for dinner on Tuesday with some sundried tomato bread. The flavours seemed to get stronger. Mmm!

  I thought this recipe was good but a bit bland. I also added less water than the recipe stated, only about 50ml and the thickness was fine. When making it next time i'd probably increase the measurements of spices to give it more flavour! or maybe add more water and leave it simmering for about an hour or so.

  Was a nice dish would cook again. Used tinned chopped tomatoes with a splash of water and threw a few chopped tomatoes in. Even though this is an Indian dish I teamed it with the Thai Prawn Curry and plain rice and chapatis - perfect Friday night food.

  Serves 4? 4 mice??? Ha ha! Lovely recipe, easy to follow and quite tasty. I like Helenm's suggestion of adding creme fraiche - I'll do that next time.
