  • Sear the scallops over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Do not overcook the scallops, as they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your curry, such as carrots, celery, onions, and peppers.
  • Use a good quality curry paste or powder for the best flavor.
  • Add coconut milk to the curry for a rich and creamy flavor.
