Really tasty, has become favourite in our household.
Super easy and delicious. I've made this many times over and it's always great!
i wasnt sure about the fresh ginger at the end, but tried it out and really liked it! was a little watery this time around, but i think with a little practice this could be a regular feature in my house!
Soooo yummy, love this! Possibly even better the next day. I served it with some Greek yoghurt on top, delicious :)
I made this last night - was delicious! My tomatoes were not very strong tasting so I added a teaspoon of tomato paste, and also doubled the garlic. Yum!
Just made this dish, so quick and easy! Going to re-heat it for dinner tonight and can't wait! Tasted delicious as it was but am sure it will improve tonight!
Really tasty recipe, so quick to make and easy to follow. Closer to two serving than the stated four though.
