This is a fantastic recipe and easy to make. It brings back lots of great memories from trips to Nepal, Pakistan and India. The whole family enjoy it, a good squeeze of lemon juice with coriander to serve and goes down well with a naan or rice. It freezes well too, I always make a massive pot full and manage to store between 6-8 freezer bags full in the freezer. 10/10! :)
