My husband and I really enjoy Indian flavors. I've just recently started making it from scratch at home and it is not really that difficult. The recipes might not be exactly authentic but they are still really good. I first saw this recipe on Pioneer Woman's website and was redirected to the tasty Kitchen for the recipe. It is really simple to make and oh so delicious. At first I was a little intimidated at how much cream is in there (you can sub it out with half and half or light cream) but I didn't want to comprimise on flavour. I've realized that, yes, I want to eat better but I also want to use whole ingredients to get the best flavour. Moderation is key. Enjoy good food just not too much and watch how often you make the rich ones.
