Hi there. I have tried the recipe today, It turned out to be fantastic. Thank you for posting the recipe. Will check out the other ones too.
This was absolutely delicious and extremely easy to make. Finding the ingredients were a little tough. You\’d basically have to go to a place that has Indian products or an Indian grocery. Patel Brothers is a famous chain in the Northeast which has locations in every major city/town with an Indian community. And BECAUSE IT\’S VEGAN, it cooks SO fast !! We had to add a little bit of chilli powder since we LOVE spicy flavors. To shake things up, we added Tofutti sour cream to give that creamy flavor most restaurants do.
To be honest, I thought i wasn\’t gonna taste very good because my finished product didn\’t look like the pic, but let me tell you,… this was absolutely delicious11. I used shitake mushrooms, added some chopped cilantro at the end and served it with brown rice and roasted cauliflower. Thumbs up!!
