My recipe is rather different in terms of ingredients as I tried to use what I already had in the house- rather then buying new things.

The only negative comment I received about this dish was that it was a little sour due to the lemon- so if this is something you or your family doesn’t like- feel free to use less, or none at all. 

Serving suggestions- rice and naan or jacket potato.
