Delicious! Even our 7 year old daughter couldn't get enough of this dish. Served it with basmati rice and fluffy pita bread for dipping. Very easy to make. Sauted the spices with the onions, garlic, and ginger to make it more fragrant. Only regret was there were no leftovers because it was so good. Will definitely double the recipe next time.
