The idea of this dish is fantastic, but the recipe is really lacking. As others said, this needs to be spiced with more garlic, onion, ginger, turmeric, curry powder, a bit of cayenne, cumin, SALT. The nutritional yeast was kind of gross, so I would do half of the amount. The corn starch was very unnecessary and even putting a little in, I can still taste it. It makes the dish feel very artificial and unhealthy. Lastly, with so many other spices, it’s hard to taste the peppers so why not just make a regular curry. I am thinking about sending this to one of my favorite vegan chefs to see if they know a way to get this recipe right. Someone needs to figure this out! The peppers were delicious. Somehow, this recipe needs to come to life.
