  • “Where do I start? My DH and I LOVE the intense flavors of Indian cuisine. This recipe is a perfect one for anyone looking to try mildly spiced Indian. If I made again, I would probably double or triple the spices; I also added chicken stock during steps 7 through 10. Next, I would give it another star except that it has a typo — it calls for onion but does not list it in the ingredients.”
