Update - now with pic. And I just realised my faux pas - this is not an indian curry, but a Surinamese one! All hail the people from Suriname (and their wonderful curries).
Made this for our Bollywood Dreams evening (will post the rest of the recipes later, I promise!), but left out the potatoes and beans (I had some other veggie side-dishes and didn't want this competing with it. This was inspired by Dutch Girl Cooking's recipe and it is super delicious. She also has a recipe for home-made roti's on there that I'll have to give a go sometime.
