This recipe was created by my husband and me to have a healthy alternative to an Indian Takeaway. You can make it as spicy as you like by adjusting your curry powder amount or strength.

It is very tasty and goes well with chicken if you aren't vegetarian, and boiled rice too if like my husband you have a big appetite.
