Oh wow! Five stars weren't nearly enough, because to me it tasted like heaven on earth! I couldn't find any amchoor powder, so used some tamarind paste just for a little tang. This is one of my absolute favourite recipes - not just on Spark, but of all time. Thank you so much for sharing. - 11/23/11
