This was a nice curry, and looked lovely. I found this very filling and it tasted good. It was just a bit too spicy for our tastes (and we do like things very hot, this was a little too hot). Next time, I would perhaps add some additional seasonings and cut down on some of the heat.

I found this dish somehow lacking in flavor, although by the ingredient list it should've had loads. I would never use dried garlic - always use fresh.

I have not made the recipe yet but I am saving it for later. I think that the reason some may have found it lacking in flavor is because it only has turmeric and cloves in it. When I make it I will also add some cumin and coriander powders. These are common spices in most curry dishes and it will make a big difference. I do like the idea of aloo curry though!

A people's person who never entertains one thing in life -- larger than life EGO of people. My hobbies are numerous and diverse. They range from being an avid reader to decorating home, loving cats, embroidery, painting, writing poems and letters to friends, endless thinking, collecting candles, music, trying various cuisines and reaching out to people. I love cooking and devising ways to smash set patterns of cooking. I do not like over use of spices in the cooking and am dead against using readymade or canned ingredients. Cooking is my favourite prescription for busting all the stress that I accumulate in the work place.
