This has to be the worst recipe I have ever used. I followed everything perfectly, had a bite to eat, and had to throw it out. Fortunately, I had some leftover mushroom curry in the fridge. -
I thought this recipe was okay at best. It just felt like it was missing something. I even used a lot more garlic and salt, and half the yogurt and it still wasn't quite right.

I am not master chef but I am really excited about cooking, specially if I can find all the ingredients in my fridge :)
I love collecting recipes and sharing them ranging from Pakistani to Italian to Chinese.
