Review - Vegetable Curry with Coconut Sauce

[meganjane]

From Fast and Easy Indian Cooking
Delish! I used potato, carrot and pumpkin. The only thing  I didn't use as I don't have any are fenugreek seeds.

MJ you are really into the Indian cookbook. Thanks for the reviews.

[achookwoman]

I  would like to try this but don't have the Indian cook book.    What do I do ?  Help please.

just made this one tonight and we were very disappointed in the flavour. liked the idea of it though, so will play around with the spice mix

Tell me, can you use coconut cream in this recipe instead of creamed coconut?

[brazen20au]

that's what i used judy, i've never seen creamed coconut before!

[judydawn]

Neither have I Karen, you apparently buy it in a block but would not be easy to find in the suburbs one would think.

[Thermomixer]

Creamed coconut blocks used to be more readily available than cans 30 years ago.  You can get them in Indian/Asian food stores, usually in little green packs.  But the cans & tetrapaks are easier to find in supermarkets.

brazen - what was wrong? not hot enough, enough Indian flavours?

[meganjane]

This dish has a delicate flavour and is best as a side dish. I imagine it would be a little bland as a single dish meal.

[brazen20au]

really mj? i thought it was too strong and it was just a generally unpleasant combo! no one in my family liked it.

i wonder if i did something wrong?

thermomixer, i thought it just needs a different combo of spices, though i'm not sure what yet, i'll have to google or search some of my books for some ideas
