This recipe is easy to make, and it is filling and flavorful. I thought it had a nice amount of heat (besides the jalapeño, I used a blend of Madras curry powder and hotter curry powder). Ours did take quite a bit longer to thicken to a good consistency than what the recipe specified. We served with garlic naan from Trader Joe's. Thanks!
