This is delicious. But do NOT quadruple the amount of chilli flakes. Not even on ACCIDENT.
If this minor catastrophe does occur, just add a little sour cream or plain yogurt. It will make you cry less while you eat the curry, not that I would know.
Another note, I used tomato paste rather than fresh tomatoes. I also used fresh ginger and garlic rather than pastes. Use a blender to make the tomato/ginger/garlic paste if you have one. If not, just grate the pieces of garlic and ginger into a bowl. It works just about as well. This paste also freezes quite well. You can make a double batch and then save half for a quick curry prep later.
I've also made this without cardamom and cloves because I don't usually have those on hand.
Another another note, you can buy garam masala in the normal spice section. It's a blend of cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, coriander, black pepper, and I think cloves. It's also AMAZING on fresh pears sauteed in butter.
Oh yeah, you can also add some parboiled potatoes to the curry!
