So easy to do, kofta curry was so good along with the aloo, pickle was quite hot but with a lovely sweetness to it. The saffron pilau was beautiful, great taste

I enjoyed making and making (and eating!) this dish. The first stage of frying the onions until they're brown and caramelised really makes the difference. I enjoyed the flavour and the little kick of heat. I think this is a great alternative to Bombay Potatoes (How to be a Curry Legend p123)
