This recipe is an original! True bengali cooking for people who love spices. I like to add a little more turmeric (about 1/2 tsp) and if you really like spice, I add 1 hot pepper (the kind you find at Indian grocery stores.) If you like the sauce very thick, add 1 tbs yogurt and let simmer instead of water. Thanks for the great recipe!

Made this with my sister-in-law for my Bengali husband. We didn't change anything except put in 1tbs sour cream at the end (instead of the yogurt suggested, didn't have any). Aunthentic and yummy! Be careful with the peppers, it really does add kick.

This was very good. I added some chopped green bell pepper and summer squash. Served with naan, basmatic & wild rice mix (Trader Joe's) and a store-bought mango chutney.

Truly excellent! I will definitely be making this again. I used Saffron since I accidentally didn't have tumeric -- that, I will do again. I would recommend using more garlic paste and, if you like spicy food, definitely include both peppers.

Very tasty. I did add the yogurt as Saira suggested (could tell while making it that it would really add to it). Was spicy and flavorful but not too hot. Good for those who want to try something different but concerned about the heat. Will definitely make it again!

Added water and a couple dollups of yogurt to make a little gravy. Tried it both with uncooked and pre-cooked shrimp, I preferred the uncooked. Will make again and again and again - easy and quick to make!
