Notes

Tip
I think the accompaniments to a curry are as important as the curry – I always serve this with basmati rice, pappadums, yoghurt and cucumber and mango chutney. The mango chutney is essential!
Variation
I have been known to throw all sorts of vegetables into my curries – it’s really more about what I have in the cupboard than any strategic planning.
