This is really yummy, Bea - I made this last night and it's outstanding. Easy, too! I enjoyed it with warmed naan bread. What kind of pot did you cook this in - cast iron?
Bea says
Happy that you liked it 😀 Naan bread is perfect to soak up all the curry. And nope, I just used the typical non stick pan for this. Thank you Chris! 😀
