I thoroughly enjoy curries and ever since I have been using my curry blend in each of my curries, in place of commercial curry powder, the result I think is significantly more tasty! I would recommend you have a go at making your own coconut cream too for this curry.
A great recipe for you to learn the value of being able to make your own spice blends which are always so much more flavoursome doing them from scratch ourselves than buying them. I tested this theory the first time of making my own Garam Masala and then smelt the commercial jar of Garam Masala that I still had in my pantry – seriously, the difference was just unbelievable.

My husband loved the flavour of this curry – I made the Thermofun curry powder – and happily made himself a bunny chow with a fresh loaf of bread. I found it just a little bit too spicy for my taste but, as a rule, I don’t enjoy spicy food so I may adjust the curry powder next time I make it.
Thanks for this recipe. We have been married nearly 28yrs and this is the first time I have been able to make a curry that actually tastes like curry and not a casserole that I wafted some curry powder over !!!! LOL I will definitely be making this again.
lol – awesome to hear! 🙂
I made the curry powder and the coconut milk before making this curry and I loooooved it! Since I do not eat rice, I increased the veggies . Great recipe. I loved it so much I immediately made a second batch. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Christine! 🙂
What happens with the coconut cream? Do you add it to the Curry?
My apologies Isabella it should be added when you add the water etc in step 8. I have now updated the recipe!
