Wonderful curry dish!!!! I really love the flavor of the tomatoes with the curry. The corn is tasty in there too!! I used canned corn and roasted red bell pepper from a jar because I couldn't find fresh of either of those. Used roma tomatoes and I left out the water because I thought the tomatoes would have plenty and they did. Loved the heat of the serrano, it was just right. I used a sweet curry powder instead of the madras because I thought the serrano would be hot enough. I like a little heat but not so much that you can't taste the flavors so this worked out great! Great recipe, thanks so much for posting!
