Review: Wow. I really loved the heavy curry flavor in this sauce mixed with the creamy yogurt and fresh tomatoes and onions. It was very flavorful. I will say that it wasn't super saucy (if you like your rice drowning in curry you won't find that in this recipe). To me though, it was plenty of sauce and definitely carried through.
