    Absolutely fantastic! I couldn't expect anything better at the best of Indian restaurants. Nonfat yogurt and a bit of yogurt made it perfect. I'll make this again and again and add different vegetables. LOVED IT! Thank you for the recipe! - 3/3/10

    Tried this tonight. It was a hit with everyone, including the grandkids. They did pick over the veggies and each had a different favorite. - 10/2/14

    I made this with a little extra water and no oil and got 6 servings for 165 calories each. It is great!!! and with some nonfat greek yogurt adds a good amount of protein this is superb. Will make again. - 2/10/11
