Tonight was the third time I made this in the last two weeks, so it's high time to give you some kudos! I'm new to curries and wanted to start out with something that looked good, wasn't going to be a big challenge and didn't call for anything I'd have to make substitutions for. This looked like a great candidate! The first time I made it I went strictly by the recipe and it was good. The second time I opted for curry spice (garam masala) instead of chili powder per your suggestion, and found my preference for the masala. Tonight I got a little more playful and added a minced green chile with some of the seeds (I like heat) to the tomato step, and a teaspoon of orange zest in the last few minutes of heating. Yummy. Thank you for such a great recipe!
