Brit-Style Curry

Sackville's Note:

This is a British take on the traditional English curry. Serving it over toasted rolls is a refreshing and surprising change, although it works just as well in tortillas.

Good curry! I was short on carrots so I added some shredded cabbage too. I served it over corn tortillas and it was delicious! I have a lot of leftovers, so I am going to cook some rice and use it for work lunches this week. I also kicked it up a bit with some additional curry powder. Thanks for sharing!

This may seem unusual compared to your average curry, but it is really good, very satisfying, and smells good while it's cooking, too! I like to serve it over two really thick pieces of toast.
