Totally delicious! I had this just as a side dish of "Indian" mashed potatoes with some tandoori chicken and it was really great, I couldn't stop eating it! I didn't have coriander seeds on hand so subbed 2 tsp ground coriander when adding the tumeric etc. Also cut back a bit on the chilli powder and used just 1 tab lemon juice. Thanks for an awesome recipe that has gone into my exclusive "five star keeper" file! :0)
