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

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.

    Delicious and flavorful! Will definitely make again! Not spicy at all so it would be suitable for many people but I would add some chilis as next time for added heat. Served with basmati rice and a cucumber raita rather than plain yogurt.

    I liked this a lot. A very easy weeknight meal. I used good garam masala (Diaspora.co) which helps. I used 3 tsp salt not 4 based on other comments. I liked the pop of raw red onion on the top.

    I thought this was ok though my teen liked it so may repeat. Like other reviewer it probably depends on your garam masala. We used a lot more yogurt and added other toppings. I think next time will also add a lot more peas.

    Surprisingly delicious. Nicely spiced. Didn't have peas so used corn. Will make again.

    Satisfying with Beyond Beef in place of traditional, served with naan as suggested. I used MDH garam masala, which I guess ends up spicy when used in these quantities, even without the suggested chiles. I agree with et12, I used scant salt measurements and was still surprised at how nearly-oversalted it tasted. Still, this is a quick satisfying meat-based curry.

    I really enjoyed this curry and will definitely be making again. Quick and easy to pull together. Sweet and flavourful but not too heavy like some other similar curries. Was on the cusp of being over seasoned, so think I will use only three teaspoons of salt instead of the recommended four.

    This is much like Milk Street Cookish recipe, Curried Ground Beef, and peas. Very disappointing that Milk Street is publishing redundant recipes
