    This dish is OK. It lacks a certain sweetness I like in Indian cooking (i.e. dishes like chicken tika masala) but my company liked it. I substituted shimp for Lobster for this dish and it worked well. Tip, when making this make sure to allow the mustard seeds to pop and release their flavor in the oil. (Jun 10, 2009 6:23:00 PM)
