Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Broccoli with ginger and coconut (Nariyal hare phool gobhi)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    The suggested garam masala is Punjabi. See the book’s Punjabi masala recipe p. 25.

    Pg. 153 Quick and easy for a weeknight and quite good over rice with a simple side salad. Usually I find Ragavan Iyer's recipes salt heavy but I actually added just a touch of salt to this one. I would also go with 1.5 times the recipe to feed 4 adults. Lastly the cilantro is a necessary addition as it brightens the flavour quite a bit. I would go with a good 4 tb instead of the 3tb you would get from going with a 1.5 times recipe.

    Pg. 153. This is a quick and easy dish to prepare and is quite tasty. I think the cook times are a bit too long, however. I highly recommend making the garam masala from the recipe in the book rather than using purchased -- it is easy to do and creates a very flavorful and fresh spice mixture. Serve over rice or quinoa cooked with a bit of saffron.
