NOTES:

  1. If your curry turns out too hot, fix it by adding half a cup of coconut milk
  2. The same recipe works well with ground beef, pork and veggies like beans & potatoes
  3. Experiment with different spices like cumin and ground coriander
  4. Please don’t tell my mother I said you could use ketchup. She will disown me.
