Filled with warm spices, this creamy tomato-based curry is comfort food at its finest. This authentic Indian dish hails from Northern India and is milder than most Indian curries. (Pro-tip: When possible, use fresh whole spices, and finely grind them with a spice grinder. Lightly toast the spices before grinding for amped up flavor.)
