Lovely non spicy curry that is full of flavour!
A delicious curry which was complemented superbly by the sambal and cucumber. The potatoes were a great addition too.
This looks delicious Simon! Thanks for sharing and happy spicing!
Looked and tasted fantastic. A real lockdown treat. Keep safe folks.
Who needs to go out, hey!? Happy spicing!
Excellent change from the Indian Curries. Almost fruity taste with a lovely firey sambal. Great to have something new and different in lockdown.
Really glad you enjoyed it! Happy spicing!
Absolutely delicious - loved how the curry was flavoursome without being too spicy and the you could add spice to taste with the sambal. Really excited to try the other recipes now!
Thanks for your feedback- glad you really enjoyed this and the customisable spicy sambal! We're looking forward to seeing your future creations, happy spicing!
Great flavoured curry balanced with the chilli Sambal. We really enjoyed making this it was very simple and quick but amazing result will definitely make this one again!
Ooh this looks incredible- we would be super pleased if someone cooked us this delicious Javanese curry!
17-year-old Matthew Gofton cooked a cracking Javanese Curry with Chilli Sambal! The curry had a lovely authentic flavour, but could have done with a bit more heat...until we tried the sambal, which was very hot! The two therefore worked perfectly together - a great Saturday night in during lockdown!
Fantastic- well done Matthew! The curry looks spectacular, a great achievement!
Curry was excellent and very easy to make. Mild but plenty of flavour. Not sure if the sambal went with it but nice nonetheless.
We're so glad to hear how much you enjoyed this dish, and that you found it nice and simple to make too!
Delicious curry, made with aubergine. Sambal was great too. Would happily make again.
We're so glad to hear how much you enjoyed this dish, Katrina - happy spicing!
