  1. Thank you Ranikabani for the nice curry recipe ! Turned out quick and tasty ! The technique for the curry is excellent, and one can adjust spices as required. Thank you !
     
  2. Very nice recipe - enjoyed by all, thanks for sharing. Just to let you know that all ingrediants were spot on - please note that the cayenne is TEASPOONS, not TABLESPOONS.
     
  3. Ok. Tried this and no criticism. This is spot on, method, ingredients, all 100% authentic. Just a few tips. I live in the south of Spain and can´t get it BUT, this SHOULD be made with lamb, preferably Halal, (just that it tends to taste better and fresher)and cut the potatoes into smaller 1" cubes. Finish with chopped, fresh cilantro on the top. It really makes the difference.
     
  4. This was excellent. I like to get recipes from the people native to that Country's food. To the person who said they should of not followed the recipe when it came to cayenne pepper. Rani did say to adjust it to your taste.
     
  5. This is a very good recipe, but I should not have followed the instructions for the cayenne pepper (as much or as little as you like) because 1 and 1/2 TABLESPOONS of cayenne was a bit too much. It did make for a very good hot (and I mean HOT) supper.

Tweaks

  1. Used ground spices in this recipe - 1 sweet onion chopped, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, the fresh ginger-garlic paste and a splash of worcestershire sauce to taste. Also instead of the tomatoes, used 1/2 cup organic non-salted tomato sauce. Adjusted seasonings at the end of cooking. Pressure cooked the organic potatoes and added to curry at the end of cooking. Excellent !
