How many does this recipe feed.
I don’t know how to cut it for 2servings with this missing info.
It serves an average of 4. You don’t need the serving info to know how to cut something down. This is how you do it. A serving of meat for people is normally 1/4 lb (you can too look up how much is a serving of meat per person too). Since this takes 1 lb. That means 1 lb divided by 1/4 = 4. Take then and divide everything else by 1/4 if you want.
I liked your pizza recipe, but in San Francisco, I was not able to find yeast in any of my stores
And bread is not the same with baking power or basking soda. I tried looking for yeast in over
four or five stores! The problem is similar to the toilet paper panic buying. Lots of home chief
here were I live. Your videos are funny like Lucy. In a good way.
Can we substitute something else for the coconut water ??
Forgot to say, we cannot have anything coconut due to allergies.
Thanks,
Dawn
Yes you can. You can use evaporated milk, sour cream, heavy cream, yogurt or even regular milk. If you use regular milk you may have to use a little less just because it is not as thick as some of the other things.
Jill,
Thank you so much !! I can’t wait to surprise my family with this recipe.
hi guys
made this the other day
it was the easiest recipe and has the most amazing flavour
yes – it will serve 4 – there are only 2 of us- i have foil loaf tins with card lids that i get from the supermarket (perfect size for a meal for 2 fits in them) and i put the remaining amount into one of them – lid on and was of course able to label it on the lid and its in the freezer for another day when i am too tuckered out from the surgery to want to cook – hubby knows what to do because i wrote all the instructions on the lid – honestly this is the best curry – i have been hunting curry recipes for years and was about to give up – you saved the day – my life and mega bucks – and not to mention my taste buds
so thanks again guys
Liz thank you for taking the time to let us know. So glad we were able to help. I pray you will start feeling better and way to go on saving.
I just made this tonight for dinner. It is so easy and delicious! Just like Tawra says, you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen making meals. I love your quick and easy meals. Looking forward to dDining on a Dime Volume 2! I have had Volume 1 for 10 years and it is the only cookbook that I actually use on a weekly basis. Love you guys!
Oh thank you Naomi for letting us know how much you liked this recipe and the book. You have been with us for a very long time. Thanks.
I made this the other day. In fact, I doubled it and my family and guests really loved it. One of the reasons I loved it is because I am doing low carb and the rest of my family loves carbs. Theirs was served over rice and mine was served over cauliflower rice. It is sometimes hard to find recipes I can alter slightly without just cooking completely separate meals. Who has time for that? I appreciate that you use the same staple pantry items that I do. I am enjoying reading through your cookbook that I purchased a couple of months ago. .
This was absolutely delicious. I made it with Swiss chard from my garden and served it over brown rice. I will definitely make again. Even my daughter, who says she hates anything with curry, enjoyed it.
