Delicious and simple to make. As others did, I browned the onions and garlic with the ground chuck to save a step. Used a can of diced tomatoes; omitted the cayenne pepper because we don't like "heat; used 1/4 t of ground cinnamon instead of the 1/2 stick; added extra curry. It was excellent.

Read MoreLove how spicy it is. I followed the recipe as written, except instead of potatoes I used garbanzo beans. Had no potatoes on hand. Definitely a keeper.
Read MoreWe loved it. The only thing I would change about the recipe is simply to state in the instructions that the burner should NOT be on HIGH when melting the butter. New cooks may not the realize that butter can burn rather quickly if you are not paying attention.
Read MoreMade it pretty much as written, just substituted canned diced tomatoes for the actual tomatoes and garam masala for the curry powder. Tasted great with rice - will definitely make it again!
Read MoreMy husband did not stop raving about this dish and told his colleagues at work about it the next day. That's a big win, in my estimation. It is delicious and quite easy to make. I made only minimal adjustments. I used one large Vidalia onion, as opposed to two onions; I was careful about the amount of cayenne I used (I figured I can always add more, but if I put in too much, I'll ruin the dish. Half the amount called for was just right for us;) and I added 1 tsp. of ground cumin, because we are especially fond of that spice. Otherwise, I made it as written. Highly recommended. Thank you for sharing this recipe!!
Read MoreVegetarian version! I used Asian Ground round, white and sweet potatoes, kale and lentils and 1 cup vegetable stock! Delicious!! Definitely make it again!
Read MoreWas so spicy that nobody could even eat it and we are fond of spicy food. I really should have known better after looking at the ingredients and the amounts. Nobody to blame but myself on this one.
Read MoreWe loved it. I did use chilli powder instead of cayenne pepper to tone done the spice. Used ghee instead of butter. Also eliminated the potatoes and added some keto friendly mixed vegetables. Served on a bed of turmeric cauliflower rice.
