Outstanding!! You're so right that quick need never mean bland - especially with this recipe :-) I only made a couple of little changes. I finely chopped the onions and fried them in a little oil first.Then added the dried coriander and fried it in for a couple of minutes to avoid the "raw" taste you sometimes get with it. Then added the rest of the ingredients and let it simmer for about 25 minutes. Thanks KitchenManiac!

(READ MORE ABOUT ME AND MORE RECIPES AT vanessafrida.livejournal.com) Thanks for clicking on my name and finding out more about myself. I stumbled upon 'zaar by chance, and I have been hooked ever since. It is just so much easier surfing online for a recipe then flipping through a zillion cookbooks. I am a big fan of healthy meal, and i love to use heaps of garlic in my food. Guess it is the asian blood in me. :) And I am a real sweet tooth, and I'm constantly on a lookout for cake and biscuit recipes. Have a look at the recipes i have posted, and tell me what you think. Thanks!
