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.

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 !
