Nice but not brilliant.

A nice way of serving carrots that enhances their sweetness. The mint crisps up nice, which is a good effect.

Good aromatic but not too hot chickpeas.
The tea did not make much difference visually.
I put quite a lot of extra garam masala, lemon juice and ginger in with the final adjustments, sometimes nearly doubling the given amount. I would also greatly increase the amount of tomatoes next time, to as much as two cups.
Served with rice and a salad.

Very simple, very tasty. Good balance of flavors.
I used paprika instead of cayenne as my children don't want to eat sharp food.

A lovely dish.
I made it with lamb shoulder instead of pork, as suggested, and that worked very well. It had to cook a bit longer than she suggested, possibly because my meat cubes were a bit larger than asked for.

Dill, rather than garam masala, is the flavor on the foreground here.
This is one of those dishes you keep on making because it's easy, everybody likes it and yet it is distinctive.
It's vegan if you replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth.

Very aromatic and the fish stays unbelievably moist.

This is just so easy and so wonderful! Mix the sauce, wok the shrimp, heat it all through. Serve with rice. Enjoy!
I used passata where this called for canned tomato sauce, I suppose it could be done with fresh tomatoes as well.

Subtle and aromatic.
I increased the spices a bit, except for the cayenne, which I left out. I also decreased the amount of stock and cream. I used an immersion blender which works fine, although there were some small chunks of potato in the soup.

Lovely but unspectacular. I think there was a bit too much cumin in the recipe.

An aromatic way with tomatoes.
Good cupboard recipe as well, if you use canned tomatoes.

Colorful, aromatic, easy to make. A nice alternative to plain rice.

This is a lovely and very different way of cooking zucchini/courgettes, as a cooked salad with yogurt dressing. It combines well with lentil recipes.
It's very aromatic, not too hot and the mustard seeds add a nice nutty flavor. Very easy to make as well.
