This curry was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices to make it more flavorful.

The shrimp in this curry was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious.

I wasn't a fan of the quinoa in this curry. I think it would be better with rice.

This curry was a bit too spicy for me, but I was able to tone it down by adding some coconut milk.
