Introduction

Adapted for American sizes/availability from a recipe attributed to Narasihman from Bangalore by an Australian blogger known to Twitter as Ganga108. It's a recipe from the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu, whose capital city was formerly known as Madras and now again known as Chennai. This very tasty and fairly dry curry is great over brown rice with a salad, dal or another bean dish, and fresh yogurt and chutneys/pickles.
