I may be spoiled since we live around many Indian food restaurants, but I found this recipe to be OK, not great. A bit too heavy and the spice mixture wasn't quite sweet & interesting enough. This recipe would be GREAT if I was craving this dish and couldn't make it to Indian take-out though - Indian food is tricky. Thanks for sharing!
