  6. This sounds amazing. We don't experiment very often with Indian foods at home (going out for dinner is a different story), so we haven't tried making anything like this before. That being said, we ADORE Indian food and I feel like we're going to have to give this a try. It looks much easier than I would have assumed it would be.
