This was very good. As I made it, I found myself thinking that it would probably be very plain, not heavily spiced as our punjabi home cookin' usually is. I substituted ground turkey for lamb but other than that, followed the recipe as is- no extra spicing. End result- a thick dish with no gravy that was so tasty in it's simplicity. We didn't add any rice or roti, as the potato made it carby and SO satisfying. This is going to be a new comfort food.
