N.B. The amount of ingredients required depends on how many people you are preparing the dish for and how over powering and spicy you like your food , I dont like too much spices so i used 1tbs of all the ingredients, the seeds about 2 each and remember to take them out before you serve the food, 2 bay leave and a good amount of butter, a cup of yogurt, half a cup of cream.
