This recipe is so good... I used about 2 tablespoons of oil and an entire pound of dried peas. I used a 6 oz. container of nonfat yogurt. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. I served it over brown basmati rice. Lovely, healthy, tasty food. Thanks for the great recipe!

WOW - I just made my first Indian curry from scratch tonight following this wonderful recipe. 2 thumbs up for simplicity and fab taste. The house has the beautiful aroma's of the curry wafting through and I am excited!! I, too, cut back on the ghee/oil. As I didn't have green chilli's , I used red instead otherwise used all ingredients shown in recipe. The only step I changed was in step 2, before frying the chillis, garlic, onion and ginger I threw these ingredients in a food processor with some oil and blended it too a paste. Then I threw this mixture into pot with a mixture of oil and ghee. Otherwise , I followed the recipe too a tee. THANK YOU, THANK YOU for a wonderful dish. I could easily cook this up on a weekly basis and have it part of our main meals. As its now 11pm while I type this, I have to wait until dinner tomorrow night to enjoy with hubby. (He did comment, just before he went to bed, that whatever I was cooking smelled YUMMO!) This is a keeper in our household....

This is outstanding. I took a short cut and used two cans of black-eyed peas, adding them along with the tomatoes and omitting the water. I didn't have green chilies so used bottled (marinated) jalapenos. The recipe turned out wonderfully. It is very spicy/hot and tastes just like the masala I had in the Indian restaurant a few weeks ago. Will definitely make again.

When recipe directions are written out as carefully as these, you know the chef has put a lot of care into perfecting a favorite recipe. So I was careful to follow and only made one change — using just 2 tablespoons of oil and replacing the rest with vegetable stock. I rarely prepare dishes with dried beans but this was so worth it. The results were just superb - rich and flavorful, creamy and satisfying. I used half curry powder - half garam masala and delighted with that choice. Eager to now try this with kidney beans as I'm sure it will be just as heavenly. Thanks love!
