I felt that without any more water or broth added, that the tomato paste was a little overwhelming. IIt would nake a five star recipe with some tweaking , less paste, and a little cummin added would be nice. The heat in the recipe came from the crushed chile flakes, but should come from other spices also in my opinion.
