The simplicity of the recipe, combined with the minimum of ingredients required and my own curiosity of how it would turn out sold me on the recipe and I decided to try it :-) I am really glad I did, because the curry turned out delicious.For a change I did not tweak the recipe too much and more or less followed the recipe in the book. The ajwain lent the curry a very pleasant and unique flavor and the curry was perfect for phulkas/ rotis.
