I have made this a great many times over the years. Its easy to make and very impressive. Di Saronna recommends the patty shells but over a bed of rice or noodles is great too for a heartier meal.

So much better than it sounds. I have served this to guests who thought they didn't like curry and they loved it. Great as left overs,too.
