5. Hints and Tips

With this dish you can use Chicken, Beef or Lamb cut into bitesize chunks.  They should be pre-cooked and set aside until the final stage.

If you find the recipe too spicy or not spicy enough you can adjust by changing the amount of Chili, this carries the heat, the coriander, cumin & turmeric carry flavour.

If you do not want to buy fresh coriander (you will not use the whole packet and the rest might go to waste) you could use the ready chopped frozen packs.  Do not use the jars of dried chopped leave as the have little real flavour and you’d be better without.
