the bad ratings are unfounded
I am a chef. I used this recipe as a guide to create a fantastic dish. I often find that average cooks think they have to follow a recipe exactly. Recipes are ALWAYS flexible and just a guide. Use the ingredients you have on hand, improvise, fix what you don't like. I toasted the cashews rather than boil, used more corriander, used a can of chopped chillis, a little more garlic and toasted mustard seeds in ghee. I didn't use the pandanus, and added more lemon to taste. Incredible! A good guide.
