This is lovely. I used full fat coconut milk and it split,but some cornflour mostly sorted that out. Really tasty.
My hubby made this today and it was devoured in minutes. Just perfect
OMG I have this in the oven for 4 hours now and just tasted it, it is amazing, so full of flavour, I’m gonna get some sour cream for my partner to have with it cause he’s not into hot at all ( except for me of course!!) wow fantastic , thank you for the recipe x
This is gorgeous. I must say I was a bit dubious about the quantity of spice but the only thing I omitted was the ground cardamom as we couldn’t source it locally. Cooked it in the slow cooker. It has a lovely kick without being too hot. It’s now added to our folder.
