    I thought this recipe had a nice flavor profile with the blend of spices in the recipe. Like others, I found the curry to be watery and didn't look like the picture in the book. I would brown chicken and remove before browning onions (as leaving the chicken in produced way too much liquid and browning of onion nearly impossible) and possibly use canned instead of grated fresh Roma tomatoes.

    This was just ok for us. Thought it was a bit watery, maybe because of my tomatoes? I might use canned diced tomatoes if I make this again. I also wasn't crazy about the sort of gritty texture because of the shredded coconut.

    We really enjoyed this. Looking at some other’s notes-I used whole canned tomatoes which also made the sauce thicker, I also used a jalapeño, and I didn’t use poppy seeds but I don’t even think you need them. I’ll make this again!

    Wasn’t my favourite, a decent dish but felt there were too many tomatoes (used baby plum tomatoes) and didn’t really taste the coconut.

    Delicious! Served with rice and naan. Added the juice from one lime after cooking. Used jalapeno in place of the Fresno pepper since there are never red chilies around here.

    This was a great weeknight dish. I loved the combination of flavors. It’s from southern India, the spices were subtle rather than hot. I also liked the combination of coconut and tomato. My only quibble is I hate grating tomatoes (I always manage to grate a finger). I’d use a can of finely diced tomatoes next time. The sauce was quite liquid the first night so would be better served with rice. The second night it was thicker so was good with naan. Definitely a repeat for me.
