This is a very simple Indian curry that tastes delicious. Serve it with rice and or Naan bread for a traditional meal. You will find that making a curry is much cheaper than the take-away verion, and much much more delicious that the out-of-the-jar versions! This recipe suits my taste for spiciness, but feel free to add more or less spice as you prefer. The quantities shown in this recipe serve 4.
