I HIGHLY suggest you boil the potatoes and carrots as they take forever if you do as the recipe suggests! Extra spice is always a plus

As written, this is about as Indian as a hamburger Going into this recipe, I saw that as written, it had turned out bland from a few reviews. So I took matters into my own hands. As far as spices were concerned, wherever it said teaspoon, I added a tablespoon. Instead of coriander, I added a tablespoon of garam masala (has coriander in it, but also a bit of turmeric, cloves, and pepper). I also added a tablespoon of chili powder because I like Indian food to have at least a small portion of the heat that Indian food is supposed to have. Other than the spice adjustments that I recommend, this is a hearty stew that's easy to make, though involves a bit of chopping. Pros: Lots of spice diversity Cons: Not enough spices
