Can be used as a soup or a curry to be eaten with rice. My kids LOVE this! Hing is asafoetida powder (the ingredient in Bean-o). It can be found in asian and indian groceries

I don't think I'll be making this curry again. It's just not my cup of tea.

This curry is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my curry turned out too watery. I think I added too much coconut milk.

This curry is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time, I'll use less chili pepper.
