Wow! What a fantastic looking curry!
a lovely combination with rice
Very nice! great with some of the Indian curry paste I brought back from NW India and we made this here in Vietnam with some of the local salmon and avocado (on the side). Yummy! As someone who works and lives international I can't get enough Indian curries – thanks for the help!
