I couldn’t find curry leaves in Woolworths so I’ve used Keens Curry and ground Cardamom lets see how it tastes.

You can buy a “curry leaf” tree. I guess you could buy them dried in a asian store!

Curry leaf and Curry powder have very different flavours. How did it go? I found some Curry leaves at an asian grocery store

Great curry recipe and fantastic presentation.
You could also use a slow cooker instead of a pressure cooker, and curries always taste better the next day.
Keep up the great recipes.Reply

Cooked this in the pressure cooker for 20 minutes, didn’t bother pre-doing the potatoes, just added them straight to the mix. Delicious and easy, I will probably add a little more chilli next time though.
