Introduction

This is a great Indian-inspired dish that does not require marinating. It's great served over rice or quinoa. The curry leaves are optional. Curry leaves taste vaguely citrus-y and slightly bitter, they do not taste like curry. This is a great Indian-inspired dish that does not require marinating. It's great served over rice or quinoa.
