Excellent. Quick, easy and flavorful. (I skipped the tofu.) My boyfriend from India made the following modifications for more authenticity: After heating oil in pan, add 1/2 t. cumin seeds. Heat for 30 seconds, stirring. Then add 6 curry leaves and 2 t. ginger-garlic paste. Stir for 30 seconds. Then add onion, 1 t. garam masala, 1 t. chili powder and 1 T. curry powder. (no curry paste required) I followed the recipe similary except that I added about 1/2 cup water after putting in the chick peas to create a thinner consistancy. We both loved it served with basmati rice. Next time I may add some chopped tomato.

I have never made an indian dish that tasted so authentic! Just as good as anything I would get at the restaurant. While sauteeing the onions I added 1/2 tsp of garam masala and 1/2 tsp of ground cumin which I think boosted the flavor dramatically. I followed the recipe exactly and added some boiled potato and cauliflower. I served it with basmati rice and it came out wonderful! Very mild also, as I have a very hard time eating spicy indian cuisine, but definitly not lacking in flavor! I'm very grateful for this wonderful recipe.

This recipe is easy to make and tastes great! The creamed corn gives it a nice sweetness and consistancy. All of the ingredients are easy to come by with the exception of the curry paste. I advise going to an asian or indian market - they have a much better selection than the average grocery store. I also advise anyone else that reviews this recipe to learn the difference between curry powder and curry pastes ;)

This was an excellent dish. I baked my tofu at 425 for 20 mins (cubed) prior to adding it to the pan, I like tofu a little more "cooked" than it usually gets in dishes like these. The tofu would also be excellent fried if fat content is not an issue. I served it with some somosas and another spicier dish (both recipes I found on this site)and my guests couldn't have loved it more.

This is a really great quick, healthy and filling recipe. I did not add rice, but ate it on its own. I also followed advice from another reviewer and baked the cubed tofu at 425 for 25 - 30 min (putting alittle nonfat cooking sray on dish and tofu). I have now found the best way to make tofu! Yum.

Very good and easy. The only time consuming part was washing the fresh spinach, so next time I'll use frozen spinach. I added a cooked sweet potato, and it was great! Using the curry paste was so easy I may never go back to powder. The flavor of the paste also seemed fresher and more authentic. My husband loved it.

This is one of my family's favorites and I have made it dozens of times. I don't like curry powder but curry paste is much different! I always get the mild kind which is excellent. Others who found this bland must not have used the paste. I have made this for lots of folks and they all loved it. I always use sweet potato(partially cooked already so it doesn't take long), carrots, lima beans and broccoli and sometimes leave out the tofu and spinach if I don't have them. Also try it with tempeh. It is fast, easy and great!

I followed the recipe as is except that I added a diced tomato. Make sure you buy extra firm tofu (the kind for stir frying), otherwise it will fall apart when you are cooking the curry. This curry is delicious! Definitely a keeper.

This was very good. Had it been a little bit *less spicy* it could have been like my favorite Indian restaurant. I added extra gram masla, red cayanne, and cumin. But, it was delicious and very, very easy to put together. I didn't use spinach, tofu or the basil. Didn't have, but I don't think it mattered. I also used fresh crushed garlic instead of the powder. My DH liked also. I might make again, but with so many others to try, I might move on to another. Thanks for the post!
