Beautiful curry with wonderful flavours. Like lazyme, I halved the recipe and used Madras Curry Powder. Did not use all the water — it would have made it too liquid. We make the banana side dish (without the butter) to accompany many of our curries.

    This is a lovely curry. I halved the recipe and used diced cooked chicken. The sauteed bananas and coconut added a nice touch. Next time I think I will add a chopped apple and some raisins, with some peanuts on top. Just me. Thanks Sue. Made for ZWT 4 Spice It Up challenge.

    Great curry. We love curries and loved this dish. I halved the recipe and used chicken. I used Madras Curry Powder for the curry powder and garnished with sliced bananas, shredded coconut, peanuts and had mango chutney on the side. I also served this over Yellow Coconut Rice (Tanzania) and it was a great combination. Thanks Sue. Made for ZWT4 Spice It Up challenge.

    This is delicious, glad that I hardly tasted the turmeric in here. It's creamy and coconut-y (if ever there's such a word. lol) Somehow it tastes like Asian curry. Served this with Coconut Rice from Zanzibar. Yum yum! Thanks! Made for WZT4.
