Really enjoyed it. I made it in a wok and it worked fine. I added extra chilli

Made this for tea tonight. The family loved it, even our 8 yr old went back for seconds. Recipe was really easy to follow, quick to make & had great flavours.

I followed this recipe and found that there was a bit too much paprika. next time I will only put in half the specified amount. I loved it though!! It made a really nice dinner!
