    My first Indian dish I've made and it was very easy. I used saffron because I didn't have turmeric. Tastes good, but I've had better in Indian restaurants. Mine didn't look as saucey as the picture and was a bit more dry. Perhaps I'll add more tomatoes next time.

    Another good one, Rita! Made this tonight along with Aloo Gobo #1738 and jasmine rice. I did tweaked it some..Added cumin seeds and 1/2 tsp anchur powder. I also cooked the seasonings for a minute or so in hot oil before adding onion, and ginger. Left out the garlic. Also used dried cooked chickpeas. This was enjoyed by my Indian student as well as myself. Will be aking this again...soon!

    Very easy to make and very tasty. I didn't use a whole tsp of chili powder (eek!), just a pinch and it was just right. We served this over rice with Soor Vindaloo (curried Pork) #92483 and a Madhur Jaffrey recipe for cauliflower with onion and tomato. I followed the recipe exactly, but I felt the flavor of the garam was too strong and overwhelmed the other flavors. Next time I would only use a 1/2 tsp garam. Thanks!
