  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the authentic, fresh taste, though some found it too tomatoey or lacking depth of flavour.
  • Ease of prep: Customers appreciated how quick and easy this curry was to make, with clear instructions.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding more spice for heat lovers; some suggest including yoghurt or raita to balance the spiciness.
  • Next-day meals: Several noted the generous portion sizes, with leftovers tasting even better the next day.
  • Chicken: Many would prefer chicken breast over thighs, finding the latter too fatty or stringy.
