  1. I was torn between three and four stars, but gave the four stars because the recipe is really pretty healthy and quite easy to make. I halved the meat and consequently used a bit less of the peas as well. I think this recipe would benefit from more Indian spices. It was a bit lacking in flavor in spite of the ginger, garlic, and so on. I also had to turn the heat down a bit after cooking the onions or I would have had a burned mess on my hands. I served with naan.
