I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken or vegetables.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garam masala and chili powder and it was much better.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili pepper next time.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used frozen peas and carrots instead of fresh, and it still turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more spice. Next time, I'll add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
