Another good dish!! I really liked the spices in this and was quite generous with them. the potato is also a really good dish, I actually diced my potato, sauteed it with the spices and then let it cook with the meat in the sauce. One of those dishes which improves as it sits, delicious with pasta, rice, or on toast! Very nice recipe, thank you PP, made for PAC Fall 2012
