What a warm, easy dish to make. I love a little spice to my meals and this hit the spot. You can cut the spice by adding less spices. I added all of them! Easy and fast!

Recipe Notes
I am always looking for ways to add more veggies.
I added chopped carrots and celery to the onion as I sauteed them together with the spices.
I did have to make my own garam masala which is a mixture of spices. You can buy the spice in the store but if you have everything, I just make my own. This is the recipe I used.
