A wonderful side dish that dressed up some rather plain chicken. I had no tomatoes or cardamon, but there was plenty of flavor even without those. -
Yummy foodee! It tasted great, yet because of a few minor changes, it had a kick to it. Thank you for posting! -
This was one of the first "proper" meals I made for my boyfriend and I in our new house, and it turned out great, I was so proud. I added frozen peas like you suggested, also some other mixed frozen vegies to make it a main dish. Thanks so much for posting it, it's definitely become a favourite here.

Lovely potatoes! We liked the spice combination very much. I used a 400 g can of chopped tomatoes, so got a fairly saucy dish. Will be making this again. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us. -
This was easy to make and we both, DH and I, liked it very much. I served it as a main dish by adding 2 more tomatoes and 1/2 cup frozen peas, like you suggested. I had to sub the chili with red pepper flakes, will use 1/2 t next time, I was a little too timid today. :) The one thing I did completely different was leaving out the yoghurt, because I was afraid it would curdle and I would not have liked the pinkish color it would have given the dish. I served the yoghurt mixed with a pinch of salt and a little minced tomatoes as a side dish together with some bread. - A very good vegeterian meal.

Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am a very beautiful cat as you can see if you look at the picture at the top of this page.... What??.. I am supposed to talk about you??? But it says here: About Me!! Well all right then ......
My mom is Dutch and has moved to England in October 2007, after living 15 years in the Netherlands with my English dad. They don’t have any human children and “created” their own family, which means I have to share them with Hannah, she is a 6 years old tortie cat, Abby the dog, she is a 9 year old Beagle, and a one year old black Miniature Pincher named Poppy, I refuse to tell you my age but I am a georgious lilac British Shorthair cat!!
It is obvious she adores pets just by looking at her name she uses on Zaar (many on Zaar call her Pets or Petsie Poo), her name in real life is Annelies and that is a common Dutch name.
My mom always liked to cook, but since she joined Zaar it got out of control, and it doesn’t help that she is disorganized. Printed recipes everywhere in the house, the recipe binders have got bigger and just between you and me, her hips too!!!
I have lived in Holland all of my life until now, but they lived in several different countries/places:- desert and coastal Oman, up North and West in Holland, Vancouver-Canada, Aberdeen- Scotland and in Norway they lived in Bergen and Oslo. We have all moved together to England, as you can see I’ve already learnt the language!
I heard her say to Dad that this is the last time she moved to another country...she's had it with moving from one place to another! ( its her age...she's getting grumpy)
Mom is 55 years old but I always hear her say that the date of her birthday does not mean that much to her, the date of her cancer anniversary is more important, because so far she is a survivor.
Besides cooking she has other interests too, crafts, gardening and soap making.
She likes Zaar and is one of the hosts on the German-Benelux Forum here on RecipeZaar.
She would like to thank everybody who tries and comments on the recipes she has posted on Recipezaar, your feedback is very much appreciated.
