An excellent light curry dish -- I uased a roasted garam masala and would be tempted to spice it up just a little next time, not too much though, you need to enjoy the flavours of all the wonderful veggies here, not to mention the succulent prawns!! My cousin was staying with us, so she and I happily chopped and prepared together and then enjoyed this wonderful dinner, served with some warm rotis! (Not forgetting steamed rice, of course!!) Very much enjoyed and a real keeper, found in Spring PAC 2013, thank you Caroline!
