Lorac.....this recipe is AWESOME!!! I needed a really good dinner last night after a terrible day, and this REALLY brightened my evening. This dish is spectacular. We had it as a main meal with chappatis... It was just heavenly. I have an idea for a variation.. I plan to try tonight or tomorrow haha. I could eat this stuff daily!!! :-) THANK YOU SO MUCH!. I would give it 10 Stars if I could!!!

This is a five star recipe EVEN with a main change that I made. I didn't have any zucchini on hand so I used yellow summer squash. Even though the two are related, there is a definite taste difference to me. I don't use garlic salt but miniced two cloves of garlic with salt to take the place. Everything else was the same but I used less cilantro. Went well with brown basmati rice. really nice meal.
