Used different ingredients. This is another good recipe we've added to our rotation. I throw in red kidney or chickpeas and serve it over rice to make it a one dish, complete-protein main meal. I also use fresh ginger, increase the spices and add more liquid (sometimes yoghurt). - 15 Sep 2008
Altered ingredient amounts. The dish has a good taste but I added extra spices and water so It would be saucy to serve over rice. Next time I will also add chickpeas or some other beans. - 15 Sep 2008
Easy and tasty, but a little dry. - 17 Mar 2010
