I loved this, but it's not for a beginner chef, the ingredients are not in order, which is quite confusing, not all amounts are specified, and the directions could be clearer. Since I quite often prepare curry, I knew what I should be doing, and this is a lovely recipe, actually quite reminiscent of a Thai curry with the coconut milk. I used veggies from my fridge and pantry, two small sweet potatoes, some cauliflower, some green beans, .. I would have put in some butternut or pumpkin, but didn't have. I let everything simmer in the sauce for longer than suggested, curry is generally better given time for the flavours to develop. Lovely curry, Pavritha! Made for PAC Fall 2009
