    Very Good
    I've been making a variation on this for years, and just trotted it out again after a long break last night. Still love it - so filling, especially if you have it with brown rice! - 9/20/10

    Good
    Try it with half tsp of ginger-garlic paste instead of plain garlic, and garnish with three tbsps of chopped cilantro...it becomes yummy!!! a blob of butter added in the end enhances the flavour - 12/18/07

    Incredible!
    Very good alternative to the usual dips - I served it warm with pita chips and little toast squares.
    Tonight, I added 1/2 a cup to lean ground beef and served it over 1 cup brown rice (serves 1) - very filling and tasty too. Now I have another use for the recipe.
