Yum! I think I am driven by spice! Now I know looking at the picture, it doesn't seem all quite vegetarian. I needed something to chew on that would fill me up! I added chicken... I had to figure out what Garam Masala was and with the web and wikipedia, that was easy. I also substituted french beans with long beans. Its only because I found it at the grocery store and I know it probably goes better with the curry than french beans. Long beans are crunchier!
