  1. We are slowly getting a real taste for Indian cuisine and I recently made this recipe along with Helen’s Naan Bread recipe and we both loved the end result. Both recipes very easy. I recommend them.

  2. Very tasty meal. I made it with chicken instead of lamb, added a little water and also added 1 teaspoon of sugar. I used peanut butter instead of the cashew nuts. I would make again.

  3. This recipe is fine. If things are looking a little dry, you can add some water. You can substitute chicken for the lamb, greatly reducing the cooking time.
