Good to know:
This is a great recipe to serve up for a dinner party, or freeze it in portions for up to 6 months.
I recommend Pataks Madras Spice paste, its bloomin lovely!
This is mild-medium spice which can be adjusted by putting more or less madras paste into the mix. Or as a compromise, serve with a big dollop of natural yoghurt to quiet the fire without losing face!
