I love these flavors. The cilantro and mint at the end really set it off. Sounds delicious. Tell me why you say to avoid onions? Is there a reason? Thanks for posting this... Jim


I love it too & was also wondering about avoiding onions. The soup sounds so delicious. I'll be trying this out for sure 5 forks from me


This sounds like a delightful and delicious stew, Chandrima. I love the flavors and have pretty much everything on hand to make it, I read on Jim's page as to why you were avoiding the onions, but I'd probably include them, just because I do love the flavor....but I'm quite sure this would work without them, too. Great recipe - I can't wait to taste it. Thanks so much...and I look forward to checking out all your recipes.
