Hey, good recipe. I added tomato paste to get a stronger colour and more tomato taste. Also I used more cinnamon to sweeten it a touch and a pinch of Saffron with two tablespoons of milk. I cooked in a slow cooker, it's gorgeous just like me. - 28 Apr 2012
Used different ingredients. Added a pinch of saffron strands after the onion was cooked and also some fennel seeds along with the other spices. - 06 Aug 2010
Super simple to make-we loved the addition of the lentils to make the meat go further and make it a bit healthier. I added a good pinch of saffron just as the onions were done, and some fennel seeds along with the other spices. - 06 Aug 2010
