    Some ingredients are missing from the ingredients list (sweet potato and extra dry spices.) I improvised with extra paprika, tumeric, cinnamon and coriander powder.

    I added about 150g sweet potato. And my shanks were very chewy after a full hour of cooking.

    Soup mix with delicious though!!

    Yes, I used 150g sweet potato and also used beef stock (only 1000g) and dry spices - 1 heaped tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp each of cinnamon & ground cloves, 1/2 tsp each sweet paprika and turmeric and 2 tsp dried coriander leaves. The sauce was thick and so tasty, I will have it served over steamed vegies for lunch tomorrow! My shanks definitely needed the extra cooking time. Great recipe, will be one of my favourites from now on.
