one problem i encountered frying this dish was that i had to divide it in 2 batches, as my frying pan couldn't hold everything at once. and for the 2nd batch the creamy yogurt/spice/goo mix had already toasted. so i had to wash the pan, refire, fry batch #2 on its own. i used refined coconut oil for high heat.
somehow it think this would be fucking fantastic on a grill, maybe on a broiler, and by this i mean, direct oven fire from above at close distance.
the other notion i had was to fry it all up at once in a large pot, then let it simmer briefly in its juices, slightly more stew-like, though quick (it cooks quick). might get soggy though, meh, but would go well over something like rice, for example.
anyway, very tasty all-around. since i was fed up from too much bread and pasta from the previous week i ate it wrapped in lettuce leaves and it was awesome. i made no sauce for it either. maybe that would balance out the cumin.
THANKS DUDE

Glad you liked it!
I fry in two batches. The second batch is always nicer because of the yoghurt mixture left in the pan.
I like the idea of using lettuce leaves. And yes, a bit of mint yoghurt does help cut through the cumin. But then again I love the taste of cumin.
