- Whole spices are added (fenugreek seeds and peppercorns) with ground ones. They should have been ground.
- The recipe wants you to make coconut milk from scratch.
- The total liquid (coconut milk, yogurt, milk-milk) would give you soup rather than a curry. I cut all this back and still have some mixed yogurt-milk to use in the next days.

Not sure this cookbook is going to be a keeper. (It was a gift.)
