Tip:

*Many curry recipes use finely diced potato to break down during cooking and thicken the sauce. Potato doesn't break down when cooked in the microwave. Continued cooking will dehydrate the potato. If adapting your own recipe only use one quarter of the liquid.

*Substitute 2 tablespoons of Korma curry paste for the spices and garlic in this recipe.

*When using spices in cooking, toast in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds to release their flavour and aroma before using in a recipe.
