Reviewed for Pick-a-chef October 2011- Good clear instructions and easy to cook. I enjoyed this dish but found it to be very. very mild.....which surprised me a little. I think that next time I'll add more spices to give extra flavour and a little heat. Served with soem flatbread and mango chutney. Updating my review to add that the leftovers I reheated did seem to have a much more developed flavour. I served this dish as a main meal with rice- I think it would be better served as a portion of a meal or as part of an Indian style banquet. Photo also to be posted
