    This is a clean your fridge recipe. The key is VARIETY. If you don't have a veggie or have a different veggie, toss it in. Most of the flavor is in the onion and masala anyway. It doesn't have much protein, so you'll want to drink some chaas or have some type of daal with it. - 8/5/09

    For those of you who have trouble finding Masala spice try using curry and coriander.
    There is also a mix available in the powder gravy section called Indian Chicken, it has Masala in it.
    I also live in a small town and totally appreciate wonderful new recip
