Made this about five times now and it's one of my favourites and on regular rotation. Very strong in the garlic department and I always add extra curry powder (my preference). I never seem to need to add the cornstarch at the end as the dish is always thick enough. I add lots of mixed veges at the end and it makes a great meal without the need for rice or noodles. A real winner! -
It's a great basic curry recipe and so easy. I like my curry a little more saucy so added an extra half a cup of water and half a teaspoon of ground cumin so the flavour wasn't watered down. Added the carrot as suggested and threw in a few beans in the end to try to get the kiddo eating more veggies!

I love this recipe, good compromise when you want Indian and Chinese food at the same time. -
Made this for lunch one day for me and my two sons and we loved it. Great recipe. Very easy to follow. -
The way this recipe was written did not yield enough sauce, so I added another half cup of water and omitted the cornstarch slurry. What an easy curry recipe, and it still tasted really good. My daughter loved this recipe. Thank you for sharing.
