I was excited about this so I could use my extra coconut milk, but was disappointed with the results. It was lacking in flavor and was just really dull. Wouldn't make again.

I liked how easy this recipe was to follow. I think I used maybe the wrong type of curry powder as it is not as spicy as I would have liked it and maybe I used too much coconut milk. However, this was my first time and I think it came out pretty good.

Tastes like a Madras curry version of a Thai curry and didn't seem to work terribly well that way. Kind of a mish-mash of tastes dominated by the coconut milk. Average.
