Submitted by Princess Pea

"My dear MIL passed this recipe on to me, as it is one of DH's favorites. This is a great way to use leftover meat to create a delicious and classy meal. I use cubed cooked pork tenderloin with great results.This curry dish is served over rice. Side dishes can be any combination of cashews, peaches, diced apples or chutney."

This is a good tasty recipe, a little different to the the normal curries i normally make. I halved the curry powder and added other spices like cumin and coriander. Went down a treat.

I`ll just say "YUK" but IF I was very hungry it would be much better than nothing.....

Recipe is a good starting point for a quick curry. I added some chopped red pepper with the onion, substituted coconut milk for most of the milk, and added some frozen peas with the liquids. Also used ground lamb for the meat. Very tasty, though I ended up adding some extra salt to my portion.

Very good, my family and I enjoyed this quick and easy meal. I used the ingredients listed with the following exceptions: added salt towards the end (because it just needed it), added about a tsp of Splenda near the end (should have left that out). I too, did not use the double boiler. I used left over store bought rotisserie chicken. My daughter is already asking when I will cook this again. This a dish she can cook with ease, she is eleven.

This was really good. I am a big fan of curry. I tasted it halfway through cooking the sauce and ended up throwing some salt in because it seemed a little bland to me (personal preference). The curry flavor really came out well, but I just like mine with more salt! It tasted great! I actually used ground turkey, and it was wonderful :-)
