Very yummy. I added lamb to the dish for a little bit of meat and it really complimented the flavours. I didn't have tamarind on hand, so I used tamarind soup base, that proved to be a bit overpowering, so I wouldn't suggest anyone do that. Forgot that I didn't have canned tomatos, so just used fresh at canned stage, then fresh again at fresh stage, seems to have been ok. Everything else done per recipe. Looking forward to making this again with actual tamarind paste. <br/><br/>Thanks for a great dinner!
