clarifications on the ingredients:
1/2 star anise = 1/2 tsp?
A small handful bunch mint leaves = handful or bunch?

A typo! It's a small handful of mint leaves. Thanks for pointing that out.

The star anise was half a whole star. But if you have powder, use about a teaspoonful.

I cheat and use a lot of yogurt in the marinating masala. Can use less oil and other stuff, and substitute a certain amount of watchfulness and water for the roasting fats.

Num. That looks darn tasty. :-)

I've found that a bit of good hot pepper and then a pinch of ancho chili pepper works for that complex indian pepper taste. The smokiness of the ancho is just enough for an extra bottom note of flavour to tie the whole thing together. PARTICULARLY if you get your hands on curry leaves. It's heaven on the nose.

Looks and sounds yummy!

Where does one get fenugreek leaves?

I get mine from the Indian grocer up the road! So I've no idea where you could get yours. If you can't get hold of them, don't worry, the dish won't suffer too much if you have to leave them out.
