These are interesting. I like that fact that they contain lots of vegetables. I chopped the vegetables in my food processor, which resulted in a sort of homogeneous texture, which I'm not sure I like as much as if I had used a knife. I did also cut back rather drastically on the spices, especially the curry powder, which I think was a good idea for me. Since the curry powder already contains turmeric, I think I will omit that completely next time. I also may add some ginger. I used a mixture of chicken and pork. I do think that if I had used lamb, I would have wanted somewhat stronger spicing. I have had my eye on this recipe quite a while, so am glad I finally got to it. Thank you for sharing the recipe with us.
