This dish was fantastic, very authentic and easy to make. My father is Burmese and it tasted just as he would have made it from my childhood.
So I did this one yesterday…I used chicken instead of beef…and I stepped out of my comfort zone and used thigh! Omg! I’m converted! So much better than breast when you are not home to turn the cooker off so has to cook all day! This was delish! I’m on low carb eating so omitted the potatoes! Whole family loved this! Hubby especially loved the flavors!
This was a very enjoyable curry, made all the better for the real spices used. The low and slow (8.5 hours low) worked well but next time I’ll go even longer. Glad I finally tried this one after spotting it sometime ago,.
