Seafood Pumpkin Curry - Nigella Lawson

Posted by Zee Merchant  

We loved this! I made the vegetarian option, as I'm not eating much meat.. and it was awesome! I didn't use the lime leaves, as I didn't have any, and I added some sliced snowpeas at the end instead of the bok choy. I used coconut milk as well..... — GertieGirl Oct 26, 2009

I feel almost bad giving this only 4 stars.. it has so many 5 stars... but this salsa just wasn't a 5 star in my opinion. I am going to play with it though.. it may just be too much sugar.. or not enough heat. There was something that tasted... — GertieGirl Sep 19, 2006
