After an overdose of rich food and yummy mango desserts all you need is a simple meal that can be put together in about 20 minutes! This one is adapted from my mum’s recipe and I love the simplicity of its flavours. I love it with some rotis and a bowl of dal….perfect comfort food!
This was an unplanned meal – I had some carrots and cabbage to finish off so just put this together as I didn’t feel like making an elaborate meal…
