Tip

I have adjusted this recipe to suit my family needs.  This is actually half of what the original recipe was.  It should feed about 3 decent sized serves or 4 smaller ones.

  • Hi,   I made this recipe

    Submitted by sdm197 on 27. October 2013 - 07:09.

    Hi,

     

    I made this recipe tonight but had to improvise as for some reason you mention using Cumin and Turmeric on the method, but it is not on the ingredients list.

     

    I just used 1 tsp of each.

     

    it turned out really nice just thought I would mention it.
