  1. Really so very good and so very fresh tasting with the cilantro and ginger. We did add some whole cashews to the top as garnish, and that added a nice touch, too. Thank you for a yummy keeper. Update 10/17: Thrilled to say that this freezes incredibly well if freezing before adding the yogurt. I let thaw in fridge overnight, slowly heated, added yogurt, and it tasted as good as new. I did add a little fresh chopped up tomato and next time might also add a bit of fresh cilantro if I had some, but really, that's just extra. This dish made me a hero again, and it's one I'll make (and double to freeze) again and again.
     
  2. Very easy & tasty! I added some fresh spinach that I wanted to use up. And I served it over whole wheat couscous. I loved it, my family found it too hot (not too hot for me at all). I may leave out the cayenne to appeal to my family. I will definitely make this again & recommend it to everyone who likes curry!

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
