This looks delicious, and about my speed. Thank you for sharing!

good looking dish! i want to make this, but i have a couple of questions...

by "spoons" do you mean Tablespoons, or Teaspoons? if it's easier, i can use mL measurements too.

and when you say 3 spoons of spice mix, are you suggesting that the total quantities of all those different spices added up to 3, or that i should be using 3 spoons of each spice?

i saved this article, intending to come back and ask this sooner, but obviously didn't until just now....

Hey there, thanks!

I don't really measure things precisely while I'm cooking... By spoons I mean soup-spoons (tablespoons). I'm a metric guy :)

For the spice mix, it's total. In my variant, I added one tablespoon of garam masala, one of cumin, half of ground coriander, half of turmeric, about a teaspoon of paprika, indian chilli, fenugreek. I mixed this separately in a bowl, and ended up using all of it. It might be too much for some, though, so you can only add half of it, adjust later if needed.

Always happy to answer any cooking questions!
