This was a quick and easy recipe and it tasted so good, was perfect for when your feeling down and want something a bit more substantial then packet chicken noodle soup in a cup. It smelt wonderful and has a wonderful mild Indian taste, that comes from the cumin seeds.

The only change I would make to this dish would be to double or even triple the quantities, because this recipe only made enough for about two people, three if you stretch it.

This was a family pleaser, even little miss three came back for more and the sick weak husband sat up to eat a bowl full and fought off miss three who was trying to help him consume it. I think this will become a winter favorite.

Thanks Lorraine it really was a nice find. It even pleased miss three, so that is always winner. It was subtle and gentle on tummies but still had a distinct exotic Indian flavor.
