I don’t see the point of comments like “looks yummy” and “sounds yummy” (Does sounds mean slap the curry around and listen to it) or is it just the folks with an incessant need to say something just to be heard. Try the darn thing and make a useful comment – positive or otherwise. I am sure Clyde would appreciate a comments that might improve on his recipe.

Thanks for sharing this “yummy” recipe Clyde – It did sound nice by the way.

Clyde,

Thank you for keeping up with this website. I was so worried that I might not find the recipe. Has been too long.. Cannot wait to make this exceptionally amazing mouth watering recipe again. It has been a couple of years. Finally, got around to getting kashmiri chillis again!

Thank you so much!
