Very easy and fast. I liked the flavor of this dip overall, but I agree with some of the other reviewers who thought it was too salty. I put 1 tsp of kosher salt like the recipe suggested, but found it to be a little too salty. I think next time, I'm going to start with 1/2 tsp salt and add more if necessary. I'm watching the amount of fat intake, so I reduced the amount of oil to 2 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of canola oil and it came out just fine (canola oil has much less saturated fat than olive oil. If you are serving this to guests, make sure they like parsley! The parsley flavor is pretty strong in this dip. I did not have madras curry powder so I used regular Indian Curry powder and it came out great.

I made this for my 20 something kids and they didn't leave any for me. I'll have to double the recipe next time so that I can hide a bit from them. Love the citrus and the fresh parsley!! I've used Madras Curry Powder in the can before and found it to be super salty. I went to the local Indian grocery and they gave me Madras Curry Powder from India - no salt added. If you aren't lucky enough to have a local Indian grocery, then, Penzeys carries a salt free Hot Curry Powder that you can order online. Stay away from that little silver can with all that salt!! Make this recipe!! Your children will thank you.
