This dish is so simple to make and is typical of home fare. It is the kind of dish that a mother makes for her family, is good for all ages and, despite the chillies, not really too spicy. Now a confession – it could be better. I could add some whole spices and fry an onion with the other tempering ingredients but generally, when at home, I would prefer to make something simple and healthy that tastes good rather than compete with heavier, restaurant fare. This curry is great with simple boiled rice, roti or even toast.
