Chef's Notes

Flavor-enhancing ideas:  Add ½-1 teaspoon cumin or coriander to the pan with curry powder. A few generous pinches of garam masala near the end of cooking is a nice addition, too. For added depth, sauté a finely diced small onion in oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden, before adding the ginger and garlic. For a deeper flavor, add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste with the spices and sauté for 30-60 seconds. 
To make this kid-friendly, you can reduce or omit the crushed pepper. 
This recipe has mild heat, so if you want an extra kick, add 1 small serrano or jalapeño pepper with the ginger and garlic. A jalapeño offers milder heat, while a serrano brings more spice. Deseed and slice or dice the pepper, leaving some seeds for more heat.

This is my new favorite curry recipe! I’ve tried tons of recipes and usually they are not spicy or flavorful enough for me. I used all the optional tips— a jalapeno, tomato paste, and I used fire roasted tomatoes. I also used a whole can of coconut milk because I didn’t want to waste the rest of the can, but even with the extra coconut milk it was so flavor packed and delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

I have never made a curry dish before. This was easy and delicious!

Hernan ★ 5.0/5

I have to admit that this recipe is really easy to make. The first time I did it, my wife was skeptical about how it looks, but once she tasted it, she was hooked!. Now it’s one of our favorite recipes for more than a year, definitely a keeper. Thanks, Melissa!

Chris ★ 5.0/5

Wonderful recipe. Very easy and tasty. The only things I did different was to add same fresh serrano pepper to spice up a bit more and some cornstarch to make to curry a bit thicker. Thanks much!

Patty ★ 5.0/5

Another keeper recipe; I added a tsp of tikka masala spice mix and a minced jalapeno.

Lorenz ★ 5.0/5

Absolutely delicious recipe, and so easy to whip up even for a beginner cook like myself. I made this for my mom’s lunch and can’t wait to hear her reaction

Lisa ★ 5.0/5

Delicious! This recipe is a go-to weeknight recipe! Always gets rave reviews!

Erin ★ 5.0/5

We make this all the time! We like to add potatoes and tofu and use the full can of coconut milk!
