My friend Lisa told me it just tasted bitter and nothing like the version she eats at my house. So I made the dish last night and checked/measured what I was doing. Turns out I don't use nearly as much spicing as I first thought. It's meant to be quite a mellow dish. Secondly, if you don't cook it for long enough, the spices taste bitter and uncooked. I tasted it at one hour in and it just wasn't right. It's the kind of dish you see bubbling away for hours in a punjabi kitchen, so I think perhaps the cooking time is also essential. It requires water adding during simmering so it can keep reducing and cooking the spices and onions into a lovely rich gravy. I have adjusted the recipe above.
