Super yummy, super easy curry. I added a teaspoon of chilli powder for a bit of spice, and a cup of green beans in the last few minutes to up the vegie content a bit. The sauce was a little bit runny so I'll add less liquid next time. But VERY tasty.

Subtle taste but yum. I threw this in the crockpot so that I didn't have to worry about unattended cooking, took about 3 hours. I also added cornflour to thicken, also added peas for more veges.

Takes awhile to make but definitely worth it in the end, really delicious and leftovers the next day are the best! I agree with some of the other comments though, the sauce is quite runny and there's tons of it too, but you could elimiate some of the stock or coconut milk to make it a bit thicker

This is absolutely delicious. I found the sauce to be a little runny but my partner thought it was perfect. Better the second day for lunch!
