Editors comment: definitely take note of the recommendation to 'season to taste' - we added a bit of salt and some extra chilli powder and curry powder to pep it up a bit. You can add extra water if its getting too dry (if you used a receptacle for the coconut milk, stick the additional water in there without washing it to soak up any residual milk). Chapati and naan also awesome!
