Great curry. We love curries and loved this dish. I halved the recipe and used chicken. I used Recipe #174350 for the curry powder and garnished with sliced bananas, shredded coconut, peanuts and had mango chutney on the side. I also served this over Recipe #174953 and it was a great combination. Thanks Sue. Made for ZWT4 Spice It Up challenge.

This was stellar! It needed a little more "heat" for us so we added some chili sauce at the table, but it was amazingly good flavor-wise. We did substitute milk plus coconut extract for the coconut cream. We also made our own curry powder (Recipe #252065). Absolutely fabulous! Made for ZWT4 Spice It Up challenge.
