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.
