[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Saag Chole turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much water or maybe I didn't cook it for long enough.
Sebastien Johnson
[email protected]This Saag Chole was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's just because I didn't use enough spices. Next time I'll add more chili powder and cumin.
