YUM. Made this as a side for thanksgiving. everyone loved it.

Followed all the advice in Valerie's Kitchen's comments and it turned out SUPER yummy. My husband loved it and made sure I knew about it. :) I'm a vegetarian and HAD to try it. Delightful. Will absolutely make this again.

YUM. I will make it again! First time I ever made an Indian meal at home and it was easy and so full of flavor! Just a couple changes: I also added chickpeas and fresh ginger. Instead of blanching tomatoes, I chopped up 2 whole fresh tomatoes and simmered them in a separate pot with a little chili powder and masala till they mostly broke down. Next time I'll microwave the potatoes and fresh green beans for a few minutes first, and then add the rest of the microwave mixture for 8 minutes (or just chop potatoes and green beans smaller and add all at once). I would add about 2 more tomatoes and double the spices next time to make more sauce. Served w/basmati rice and garlic Naan = SO VERY GOOD! My husband really liked it too, which is always so nice. :)
