Recipe Summary South African Malay Curry

My mother asked me to make this recipe for her and I was surprised at how good it was. My neighbor smelled it and asked what I was making, and loved it too. Serve with traditional curry garnishes such as chutney, peanuts, sliced bananas, and dates. I served over brown rice.
