I tried this recipe and it was so good. It is easy to make and it is great the next day too as the flavours become better.

Just made this for dinner and absolutely loved it. It was super easy & fast. I did make some adjustments:
I eyeballed the measurements (i.e. added extra red pepper flakes
Added two medium tomatoes (diced
Added extra tbs of tomato paste

This dish ROCKS! Easy and tasty! It helped me to learn a whole new combination of spices that could work in other dishes as well. the addition of the yogurt to the sauce gave a wonderful creaminess to it and tempered the flavor of the spice.

Just made this and it was excellent, easy and even my 7-yr old son enjoyed it. Left out the red chile flakes and it was still spicy enough. Make extra because there will be no left overs.

This is a great recipe. My family ate and ate and ate. This dish was very flavorful and creamy. I put this over basmati rice and there were no left overs. I put more red pepper flakes than called for so it was a bit spicer but still as flavorful and delicious

Exceptional recipe; wonderful flavors. I made it exactly as Bal indicated, even resisting simple changes like omitting the brown sugar (we don't like sweet or replacing the water with chicken broth (which I frequently do in recipes for more flavor. The recipe was incredible just the way it was written. I did use a rasp grater to prepare the ginger and garlic and I measured each at 1 T and 2 T, respectively, wondering if that approach was equivalent to a fine dice like Bal did on TV. But, nonetheless, the dish came out spectacularly. (I did peel the ginger, although I know Bal prefers it unpeeled. It had a fair amount of "heat" to it, but we like spicy food. Would definitely do it again. The recipe says it serves four and I think it's more like four "dainty" portions. We served it over brown rice, although the roti bread looked great I was not going to go to that much trouble.

I Made this recipe to the tee and the only thing I would mention is that it is very spicy. There are several elements to this dish that should be well noted such as the large amount of fresh ginger and the chili flakes. These brought a great deal of heat to the dish but thanks to the yogurt, was tempered just enough for someone like myself to keep coming back for more. I thought it was an excellently seasoned dish, perfectly salted, and flavorful. However I do caution it's heat is not for e squeamish. I love anything spicy, my family are not the biggest fans so for anyone planning on making this dish, be sure to ease back a little on the spicy elements to the dish. Also, I recommend white rice or naan or something similar and simple. The simpleness of plain white jasmine rice kind of mellows out the flavor and balances things out.
