I have to say that this is one of my favorite Indian dishes! I’m so glad I found your recipe. I will certainly have to give it a try.

I found your site info through the South Orange Maplewood Adult School course book that I received in the mail today. I have my own blog featuring primarily Korean dishes that I grew up with.

By the way, do you have any recommendations for Indian restaurants in this area? I’m pretty new to the area. I’ve tried a couple places and I find the dishes at Dabbawalla in Summit pretty bold and flavorful.

Hi Amy,
Thank you for reading the blog. I will have to check out yours- what is it called.
Dabbawalla is not my favorite- it was good when it first opened. Although I do like to decor in there. For a special occasion meal, I like to go to mehndi in morristown. For all others I go to Edison- Mogul Express.
Hope this helps.
