      Maria, I made these with soy vegetarian chicken, & its absolutely awesome, a tad bit grainy, but that i believe is due to the cashew nut paste. It tastes superb! Great recipe, thank you sooo much!

      Hi Maria

      Great recipes and thank you for posting wonderful recipes:-) My wife just loves your recipes!

      You mention couscous in your instructions but it is missing from the ingredients – any idea how much of this required and also in what form (dry as is or soaked in water first?)

      Thank you, Maria.

        Hi Cherish,

        Thanks a bunch for the comment. It’s really nice to know that your wife like the recipes posted here.

        About the couscous, I’m sorry it was a mistake. Its actually poppy seed & not couscous. I’ve updated the recipe also accordingly. Thanks for asking about it :)

        Hope you like this curry…
