  1. As this is an "Indian style" curry, I always serve it with raita, which I make with yogurt, chopped cucumbers, and cumin, garlic, salt to taste. Then top it with toasted or roasted almonds. It goes from "ok" or "pretty good" to "wow" or "really good".
     
  2. We made this last night for dinner and followed the recipe exactly. Liked the dish, but did not love it. We served over jasmine rice.
     
  3. This was a nice, easy to follow recipe. I followed it exactly, using sliced baby bella mushrooms and one green apple, as per another reviewer. We love mushrooms, so this was good, but not so good that I'd make it again.
     
  4. This was wonderful. Truly wonderful! This was a rare instance of my following a recipe without tweaking it, and I'm glad I did -- I couldn't have improved on it. I think it was all the better for using Penzey's spices; I used the China Cassia cinnamon and the brown mustard seeds. Used crimini mushrooms. I never had any trouble with the pan going dry, so I didn't have to add any extra liquid. We had it over whole wheat couscous, with a salmon fillet on the side -- a wonderful meal. It makes me laugh that I have this cookbook, but never noticed (or tried) this recipe ... Thanks so much for posting this!
     
  5. So beautiful. Just the right amount of sweetness. We didn't have any celery, so used zucchini in it's place. Instead of serving with rice, we baked a couple of pita bread (brushed with olive oil) for about 10 mins until crisp, quartered them and placed them around a serve of curry in each bowl. We will definitely be making this again and I'll add some chilli to the onion & garlic. Thanks for sharing :) UPDATE: To the people frightened to put apple in their curry: Don't be! The apple soaks up the spices & integrates beautifully
