  1. I felt too much curry powder for us, I added most of a tin of coconut milk to it. I also added, a stalk of celery, a few mushrooms, half a tin corn, some capsicum, and some sweet potato. Was very yum. Served with brown rice, and mashed potato.

  2. If adding coconut milk/cream to this how much would I add? Would potato then thicken it, or any other ideas? ty

  3. This have become a favourite in my home. Have made this quite a few times now and will make it in a couple of weeks for a curry dinner party, I know it will be a success. It is delicious.

  4. Have looked for this recipe for a while. Made it for dinner tonight , mum and I have decide it will be a regular on our menu!

  5. This was really nice. I added a sweet potato and zucchini to it also. With brown rice and some papadums – as that makes it fun for the kids. I did not add the chutney, however i chucked in a tablespoon of brown sugar in its place.

    The apple and banana dissolve into the sauce, don’t be afraid of it!!

    I used a topside roast that I diced myself. Will definitely make it again!!

  6. 5 stars
    Whole family loved it. I doubled the recipe except for the banana and I added a can of coconut cream because I just wanted more sauce. Served with rice.
