I love Indian for however do not have a lot of experience with it. This recipe B was easy and amazing! My boyfriend is from Dubai and always complains that we don’t have good Indians food here and he was AMAZED. I’d give it 6 stars if I could

Question: In the 3rd paragraph it says to use "whole garam masala", but recipe ingredients don't have "whole garam" listed, only powdered. Then in the last paragraph it says to add the garam masala powder. Do I use both whole and powdered? I have both on hand for this dish. Still learning how to prepare Indian dishes and don't want to overdo the spices. Please advise, cordially Linda :-)

I have cooked this several times. It is fun to make and everyone likes it. I actually use only half the methi suggested as I think it can be a bit overwhelming. Thanks for the great recipe.

This was really easy to make and so tasty. I accidentally added turmeric twice so a bit yellow but didn't spoil it!
