I tried this dish and an Indian buffet and fell in love. I tried one recipe on here and immediately changed the recipe, brought some to an Indian co-worker and she loved it as well. I made it with basmati rice and fresh mint from my garden. The only thing in this dish that is not light is the heavy cream I use. Enjoy
