"Wagner, Beethoven and Hendrix might have chanced the Vindaloo but Mozart, Debussy and John Denver were probably Korma or, perhaps, Dhansak guys on a daring night. Got the picture? See you in Curry Heaven."
-Ian Anderson, Lead singer for Jethro Tull
I love Indian food and this dish is so easy. It is a single pot and all of about ten minutes prep and active cooking time. For all its simplicity, this recipe is full of flavor and at the same time is so great for you. Full of fiber but less than 500 mg sodium in a serving, this is the perfect weeknight meal.
If you like your food spicier, add a bit more cayenne pepper. This version is a bit toned down, so don't hesitate to add more, 1/8 teaspoon at a time.
