Used different ingredients. This stuff is amazing...I've tried it several times with chicken, beef and prawn. It was good with all of them even though I had been hesitant about the prawn. I have also substituted yogourt for the cream and it was still quite good. - 29 Sep 2008
This is worth the time and effort that goes into making it. Very complex flavour and not as spicy hot as it may sound. Yum! - 29 Sep 2008
Yummy! Very different flavour and very good. I did not try either of the sauces and it was wonderful by itself. Highly recommended! - 29 Sep 2008
