"This is the first Indian dish I ever made and it was perfect! The spices gave it the perfect flavor and it wasn't too hot. I served it over basmati rice, but I'm sure it would also be good with naan bread or even by itself. There's not meat in this dish but it's very filling with the rice and I'm sure it would be delicious with tofu or cubed chicken added as well."

[Everything Sweet]

The flavor was excellent!! I didn't have the hot curry powder, only sweet but that worked out with my five year old. I think that the cooking times are off and it did miss some information about when to put some spices in, but I just guessed. I served this with basmati rice, I cut the recipe in half and it still served four people. So good!! Great way to have something hearty and warm with vegetables in the winter instead of beet stew!
