Oooh, very yummy! My whole family, plus one dinner guest, all gave this 5 stars. I used the dried ginger option, and used a large can of diced fire-roasted tomatoes. Since nobody in my family except me appreciates spicy food, I used sweet red bell pepper (capsicum) in place of the chillies, and added chili paste to my own serving only. I also used dry berbere spice mix in place of the "mixed herbs." This was outstanding! Thanks, Elmotoo! Made for ZWT4.
