This is an amazing dish, true to the Indian flavours I was expecting. It turned out well in the slow cooker.

    I did not have corn oil, so I used Olive. It was fine. I also added some red and green peppers to this and it was lovely. It was mild enough that my kids ate it, and enough flavor to make it interesting. I made it a second time and doubled the recipe so we could reheat it for a quick lunch. I also like that you mix everything in the blender so the flavors and tomatoes blend up into a creamy sauce. The yogure is a great alternative to cream and does not dominate the flavor. Very well ballanced. Definately will be making this again. Thanks!

    Great Recipe. When I found out that Ghee (butterfat) is flavorless, I substituted olive oil to cut out the cholesterol and saturated fat.
