Notes

• I didn't add the leaves or mozzarella cheese and it still turned out good

• I also added black pepper, cayenne, onion and garlic powder into the breading

• Day old rice is a little better for this recipe

• For my curry paste I used the medium hot golden curry japanese curry mix from walmart
