This is super easy and very good. I had to use dried curry leaves, which I have heard have almost no flavor. The first evening the curry was somewhat lacking in flavor. By the next day, the flavor had deepened and it was outstanding. I think not only the curry leaves, but all the spices benefited from the wait. I also added some carrot, and will try to put in something green - spinach, green beans or peas - for next time. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.
