This is so delicious!! I love to try different variations and also experiment on my own, but I really love this one! Thank you for another wonderful recipe!!
experimenting is amazing
My niece, home from college for the holidays, switched from vegetarian to vegan…. No cheese! I can cook great Italian food if I can only use cheese. What to do… what to do. So happy I found your blog. I love Indian food; it’s my favorite. Niece not too fond of Indian, but who knows if there is even decent Indian food up at Binghamton, NY? So she may not have experienced good Indian food. At any rate, so many ideas for nicely spiced food, which is kind of like fusion. I can’t imagine she would not enjoy so many of these recipes. Printing them out and will start cooking them immediately as she is home for another two weeks. Very inventive recipes.
Thats awesome! Yes, try some of the indian fusion meals that use spices in meal types that she likes and go from there. Eventually try my butter tofu. Good luck!
