    Thanks for this recipe. I made it, and my husband and I loved it. I added the optional mint as well as some lemon juice to brighten it.

    My husband loves this dish! I am just about to make it and want to confirm whether I use fresh coriander or coriander seeds?

    This looks amazing. I am looking for a variation of this, called quorma-e-seib with apples, prunes, walnuts, and split peas. You can find it under “Seib Chalow” here: http://panjshirrestaurant.com/menu/. It is one of my favorites and I cannot find the recipe anywhere! Any ideas?

    I have cooked this couple of times, the second time I used the 1 Tbs of coriander instead of the 2 that it asks for.
