Delicious and easy to prepare. Didn't have any malaysian fish curry powder on hand, so instead used regular curry powder, and fish sauce to create the paste. I know that is a bit short of the real taste, so next time will use the appropriate powder. I had to turn up the heat after adding the veggies--to about medium, in order to cook the potatoes through. This was very good, and had lots of flavor and bulk to it! Thanks Wendy's Kitchen!
