Tasty and great as leftovers. Not sure why the side dish is called "basmati" since basmati is a variety of rice and not a dish. Or maybe they mean to say we should use basmati rice in the recipe. Not clear.
0 HelpfulIt's my first time cooking Indian. Never knew it's that easy! The paleo version with shrimp was burst with flavor and very delicious. We love it and will definitely make it again!
