I have adjusted this recipe to suit my family needs. This is actually half of what the original recipe was. It should feed about 3 decent sized serves or 4 smaller ones.

Hi,
I made this recipe tonight but had to improvise as for some reason you mention using Cumin and Turmeric on the method, but it is not on the ingredients list.
I just used 1 tsp of each.
it turned out really nice just thought I would mention it.
