I served this dish with brown basmati rice, and garnished with lots of fresh cilantro.

I love Indian food! It's so delicious!
This looks great. I love all those spices! I don't make indian food at home nearly enough.
I've been thinking of ordering some garam masala from Penzey's... it is definitely going the list now! YUM!
Oh Dishy it looks marvelous. So interesting about the walnuts and the way they are used in this recipe.
Are the bay leaves fresh?
Yum Dishy! We have an Indian buffet here in town that I ate at once with my Berlin-teacher friend and it was so good.
