Lightning
Taste - The dish tasted very good. I served it over rice and it was a good combination. I was a bit surprised since I'm not usually a fan of curry or of chickpeas. The dish had a good amount of spice to it.
4/5
Value - The dish made two servings and cost $31.60 in ingredients. It was on the more expensive side.
2.5/5
Originality - The recipe follows a lot of traditional curry ingredients but throws a few curve balls like the celery and the unseasoned rice.
2.5/5
Presentation - The dish is very well set up and presented. It looks appetizing and the rice adds to the overall look.
4/5
Difficulty - The dish was one of the hardest to make. The recipe provided was user friendly.

Taste - I've only had curry a few times, but this did seem to be up to par with any of the other experiences. It’s not anything that I’m particularly fond of, but I can appreciate the taste if I don’t think about it too much. Interestingly, I’m not a big fan of celery, but it went so well in this I was pleasantly surprised. Also: spinach is ALWAYS good.
4.5/5
Appearance - Neither the version on my plate, nor Odin’s picture make the meal appear appetizing. Maybe I’ve just got a problem with the color orange. It’s not that the picture taken, or the presentation is bad, because that aspect of it is great, it’s just that maybe there’s nothing you can do to make this look as good as it tastes.
3.5/5
Value - Very cheap. The majority of the ingredients are things that most people are going to have in their house already.
5/5
Difficulty - The meal itself is not hard at all to make other than the bit with the yoghurt, and I didn’t have as hard a time with that as I thought I would. However, I did have to drive ~35 miles to find a grocery store that had some of the ingredients. I live in the boonies, so it’s understandable, but it’s still something to consider. My local store does not stock: chickpeas, chili paste, poppadoms, or turmeric.
4/5
Originality - This is hard to judge for me simply because my curry repertoire is very limited. From what I do know, though, it’s fairly standard presentation.
