Quick, easy, and full of flavor and nourishment-what more could you ask of a dish? It's pretty good just on Its own, but you could serve it with some plain boiled white or brown basmati rice or some Indian naan bread. My favorite accompaniment is cauliflower or shredded cabbage, cooked until it's barely tender.
