    Oh my! This curry is packed full of punch and the flavours are amazing! The silky smooth sauce was mopped up with mash for us. Hubby said it was sooo tasty and F****** sensational! Will be making this again. 10/10

    Made this yesterday for Hubby and I to have for lunches for the week. Soooooo Good!!! I added mushrooms cause hubby loves them but this is very tasty.

  3. Haha so so so good! Hubby asked me for the recipe today so he can make it again! Superb!

    5 stars are not enough for this recipe. It’s THAT good! Lip smacking flavourful and delicious.
    I decided to use the curry as a bunny chow filling as opposed to rice and it works so good! I’m dreaming of when to make this next while I’m eating it.

    This is a delicious meal with stir fried veggies or rice and it’s great for making pies out of the leftovers or just having leftovers the next day for work.

    Made this tonight and doubled the recipe as a household full of adult boys and as mentioned in all the reviews what a excellent tasty curry and has a very smooth texture to it. I add a bunch of broccoli which went very well and had a baking dish full of vegies on the side. We always need leftovers if possible for lunches the next day. Thankyou Love this one.

    This was delicious. We had dinner early, as I couldn’t wait any longer to eat it.
    Next time I’ll double the recipe and add carrot and potato’s.

    Will be making this again and again and again!!

    This dish was a winner tonight rated 4.5 out of 5 by our family. I used 800g of rump as that was what I had in the freezer. Will definitely cook again!

    This is now one of my favourite curries. It’s deliciously mild and full of taste. I added carrots and potato as well, and omitted the spinach – only because I forgot! It was superb. Thank you Pauline.

    I am not a curry person,I try to suck it up for the hubby he loves them, I chose this one as it was said so full of flavours and spicy. Armed with yoghurt I dived in for a full punch of spices very different from a usual curry! Hubby would have liked it with more punch, I did need the yoghurt but I am a sook. Very tasty!

    Delicious! The flavour is so yummy and used left overs to make some pies

    Absolutely loved this! I doubled the meat as we had visitors
    For lunch, but I kept the liquid ingredients the same. I also halved the slice quantities as my friend doesn’t like her food too spicy. It was a big hit and it will now be on regular rotation.

    It was my first recipe made from this site and I will def be making more.

      Great feedback! I’m so happy you found us xx Thanks so much Jill 🙂
