VERY tasty curry indeed, TRUE! Used vanilla low fat yogurt too! GREAT for entertaining, worked for me! As I LOVE it HOT, I added diced chilli! Only thing had a bit of trouble, but am sure is me, The cardamon pods...once cooked, I could not see! So if you have a helpful hint on how to find my six, Will take a photo of this lovely mix! THANKS!Reply
