Absolutely loved this dish.

Delicious. I would cut the carrots smaller diameter and cut the potatoes a little bigger. I will make this again. Thank you

Just made this. Absolutely perfect!!

Like others I was skeptical about the 2 minutes but it was perfection. One of the easiest recipes ever. Served with Gomen Wat and naan bread (haven't perfected injera yet).

Loved it. Used purple potatoes because that's what I had, and added a large jalapeno pepper, seeds an all, because I like the heat. Like in a previous reply, I didn't think 2 minutes would be enough, but it was perfect. Water amount was perfect as well.
