Probably one of the best home curry dishes I’ve ever made ! So creamy and full of flavor, just delicious. Entire family loved the meal. Definitely a must try 😋😋
You said to use one small packet of coconut cream but I have it in a can…so how much would I use from the can itself? Thanks
I mention that the packet is 200ml. So it depends on the size of your can
Came across this beautiful recipe just in time as i had alot of leftover coconut milk and didnt know what to do with it. This recipe ws a beautiful blend of flavours and quite straightforward to make which i love. Really tasty with roti, naan or rice. I used chicken with bones and it turned out delicious Alhamdulillah 👌🏼🥰
