I love Indian food and one of my favourite places to eat it is Vij’s. The restaurant does not take reservations and unless you are there when they open, the wait for a table can be 1 1/2 to 2 hours! So you can imagine how happy I was when my favourite dish was included in their first cookbook http://www.vijs.ca/vijs-cookbooks/. I have altered the original recipe to feed 2 people.
When I first started making this recipe a number of years ago, I had hard time finding fenugreek leaves. If you can’t find them, substitute curry powder. Not the same thing but most curry powders contain fenugreek and I just happen to like the substitution. As well, if I don’t have a bottle of sweet white wine open, I have been known to use mirin or honteri sweet seasoning. Sometimes you just need to go with the flow. :)
