View all comments (6)if you want very good indian food stick with Atol Kutcher - His recipes have never ever disappointed.
if i could have rated this recipe with a zero i would have done so. Nobody liked it (all you could taste was Fennel)I have tried a few of Anjum's recipes because someone bought me her recipe book. This dish was appalling, as were the 4 or 5 recipes I tried from her book. From experience (of using her recipes to the letter) I cannot for the life of me understand why she is a celebrity chef ????
