I made this tasty curry last Friday, courtesy of the Stonyfield Farms website. I did make a few changes, like adding some bright orange bell peppers and using some fresh chopped basil since I forgot to get cilantro. I know that really isn't a swap, but I thought it worked fine! I also used plain nonfat yogurt instead of whole milk yogurt since it is healthier and I always have this on hand. Again, I thought it tasted great - Stonyfield Nonfat Plain is so rich already. I really liked the shittake mushrooms - don't usually think of them in a curry ... And the cashews added a delicious crunch - yum!
