I had originally planned to make a greek salad, but the weather did a 180 and I was scrambling to find a recipe that fit my ingredients on a cold and rainy night. This recipe fit the bill!
I followed the directions, however, I added a green, red, and yellow pepper. I used fenugreek instead of salt, grated my ginger in, and cubed extra firm tofu rather that adding kidney beans. I omitted the lemon pepper. The flavor was good and the heat very subtle. I felt very warmed inside while eating and for a short while after dinner.
I think next time I might try this with paneer and add a few spicy peppers into the mix when I add the onion and peppers. Overall very easy, good and filling!

My husband asked me to cook with less meat so I tried this recipe, and it was delicous! I made it a day in advance, so the flavors had time to marry. I will definitely make this again.

I eat this four times a week. I double the amount of fresh tomatoes and beans. I use one tsp of red pepper flakes. I eat it with jasmine rice and quickly cook up frozen peas and mix it in. So healthy and delicious
