FAQs
How authentic is this recipe?
All our recipes are authentic and traditional family recipes passed along by my Mom.
Can I use Curry powder instead of individual spice blends?
Technically, you could use Curry powder or a common spice mix. However, this would not provide the authentic taste of traditional spice layering technique that is unique to Indian cooking
Can this recipe be made with meat?
Sure! Simply replace beans or veggies with cooked meat of your choice
