    I love any variation of this. I make a recipe that is similar with half a cup of almond butter or peanut butter added in the crock pot with an Emerson blender used near the end and chicken or seitan or chick peas added at the end. It's yum too!

    Have never had it but it sounds delish! Is there a substitute for the garam masala?
