Comments: 5/28/2022 - I used a whole yellow onion, which was about 1 1/2 cups, a whole orange bell pepper, and 2 cups of peas. I doubled the amount of black pepper. The flavor was very mild.
3/8/2025 - I used a whole yellow onion, which filled 1 1/2 cups and 1/2 red bell pepper, which filled 3/4 cups. I doubled the amount of cumin, turmeric, coriander, and garam masala, and added the lime juice that I’d forgotten to add to the tandori chicken.
