can i avoid using vinegar ? and no tomato too?
Vinegar adds a nice flavour. To an extent, vinegar can be replaced with fresh lemon juice. I haven't tried it in this recipe.
that makes sense... lime gives a sour lift !
Yet another nadan curry, liked it. Thanks Jane :)
Thanx for trying it out, Jay :)

Thanks Catherine!
Hi!! This looks delish! Is there a way I can make this without the pressure cooker? If so, how long does it need to be cooked for? How do I know when the meat is done?
