Yum! A really great curry for scallops, fairly mild from a heat point of view so it's doesn't overpower them but nice and creamy and the lemon gives it a nice twist so not too boring either. Would be a really good family recipe I feel suiting a wide range of tastes, my GF is not so much into hot curries and loved them while I found the flavours subtle but interesting so loved it as well.

Thanks sara, love this recipe. I tweeked it a little, I added 1 tbsp sugar and little garlic, and used sour cream in place of mayo, The egg seems to make it sooo creamy, yummmm.<br/>I also used this recipe for curried chicken, again adjusting a little. I didnt use lemon, instead of all milk I used half chicken stock, and added some vege. I sealed the chicken first, removed it and made the sauce, then put the chicken back in so it didnt dry out. Very versitile, love it, thanks again :)

Now i just need to get the pastry right...the pre rolled frozen stuff just doesnt cut it. Needs to be soft on the bottom and flakey on the top.

Well..about me! I'm married, I have 2 kids (both boys), and I live in Australia.
I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember, and have become completely addicted to browsing through Zaar looking for new recipes!
I have a small animal shelter for rabbits and guinea pigs, and spend most of my time looking after kids or critters!.
My favourite cookbooks are The Essential Pasta Cookbook, The Central Cookery Book, Flo Bjielkie-Peterson's Country Cookbook, and Greek Cooking (I bought that one in Greece, and it's FANTASTIC). At the minute, we are getting ready to move, which is forcing me to sort through my recipe cabinet. I have been trying out all those recipes that are scribbled on pieces of paper, or torn from magazines, so I can decide ifthey are keepers or not. So far I've found a lot of keepers, and will work at posting them on here.
I'm passionate about a lot of things, mainly my kids, animals, and cooking.
I won't even start on my peeves, we'll be here all night! lol
