Note: We love the intense flavors and taste of Indian food, especially all the unusual seasonings and ingredients. This recipe is good as a side dish to any Indian meal or as the main course served over rice. Try adding different vegetables such as carrots, green beans, lima beans, etc. This sauce has such a wonderful flavor that your kids won’t even notice they’re eating vegetables.
