Notes
I used four gloves of garlic.....who puts 2 in anything ....sheeeeesh!
Recipe says 500ml of tomatos..I used a 400ml can and it was oodles.
I went pretty heavy on the spices .....probably a good idea to stick to the recipe first time around.
Had my eye on this recipe for 6 months now.....glad I ended up making it , it wont be the last time.
