  1. Really nice meal. Mine came out looking a lot creamier than in your pics, but I did use a mild yellow curry powder as that's all I had. Added a bit of cayenne to half the batch for a bit of heat for myself and hubby. The kids had the non-spicy version. Real simple, easy to make - will definitely make again in the future. Thank you!
