Forgot to say - we served this with Lolabelle's creamy prawn curry and they were excellent together.

Sounds good!!!!!
Will try this one.
Good to see people using spices instead of adding Curry powder.
Like you I always make mine in my karai,which becomes a wok when i am making chinese!! ;)
Nothing beats the smell of the spices especially the cumin seed popping away.
I am hungry and its early in the morning,looks like another long day :)
