It was a bit of work - but seemed worth it. I took a few shortcuts - I used spices in my cupboard for the Cardamom, Cloves. I also used Ginger paste and Garlic paste in stead of chopping all that. The ingredients were missing the onion so I added 1/2 an onion. I also ended up cooking 30 mins extra. - 3/8/09
