The refrigerator light goes on...
Super simple, super quick, super delicious. This is a recipe that I had a version of in an Indian restaurant in Greenwich, UK, and most of these types of recipes include not only garlic and chilies but also ginger. I opted to forgo the ginger because I like the less sweet, more savory flavors in this dish.
