    I don't care for the texture of frozen vegetables. I also think that just using store bought curry old be just fine. So I'd shortcut the spice rather than the veggies.

    I've tried this recipe at least 3 times. My wife loves it but I have compared the flavor to cardboard. The spices just don't blend...maybe not enough contact time with the vegetables.

    I loved this recipe, but I want to give a few tips:

    (1 The spices must be all measured out and ready ahead of time, as they cook quickly!

    (2 I only cook with fresh, and not frozen vegetables. I simply purchased a number of mixed vegetables: onions, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant, and even okra (when available. I also add some firm tofu, for extra protein. I add them to the pan according to their cooking time, and I let the whole thing simmer a while.

    When you follow this advice, I can assure you that the meal is wonderful! You can use nonfat yogurt and serve with quinoa, for a very healthy meal.

    Dear Alton Brown,

    This curry recipe was a very poor attempt at Indian cuisine. It seems quite ridiculous to advocate for fresh spices to improve flavor and not fresh vegetables (they will definitely make your food taste better. And onion powder instead of an onion---Why? A simple vegetable curry could easily be much improved by taking 10 minutes to chop up some vegetables and let your curry simmer a little before serving so that the flavors can be absorbed a bit!

    Very easy to make and delicious! I never tried to make my own curry and it is so much more flavorful than those powders you get at the store. Thank you for the great recipe.

    This recipe was pretty good. Not exactly authentic and had a bunch of not necessary ingredients. Pretty good though.

    This ia a very poor try to make Indian curry. This one did not have chance to develop real flavor of Indian curry. Alton Brown avoided cooking with yougart hence he added that cold at the end of cooking. Because AB said the yougart would card. Just beat the yougart well before you add to the hot pot it will be fine. I usually like AB's food but this one was simply bad.

    My husband and I loved this dish. Thanks to previous reviewers for suggesting having all spices ready to go before beginning. It's a must in this recipe. I didn't find it soupy in the least, maybe because I drained the veggies after microwaving them. Cooking went a lot faster for me than the recipe states. I didn't have to wait 3-5 minutes for the garlic to brown, for example. Maybe the heat was up to high. In any case, it turned out great. I tasted one of the veggies after they came out of the pan, before being tossed with the yogurt. Yummy! It would be good without the yogurt too, in case you want to make it but are short on yogurt.

    Tip: I accidentally used a white silicone scraper when making this recipe and now I have a yellow silicone scraper! The turmeric stains horribly so be careful what you use and what it touches.
