Excellent easy one-pot meal! I did not use a whole jar of hot mango pickle though. I agree with the reviewer who thought that was too excessive.
Followed this to the letter except decided to proceed with caution when it came to the pickle. Added one teaspoon and that was more than enough especially if you want to serve it with another curry dish. In fact added some chopped tomato to cool it down a bit and lemon juice to give a bit of a lift. Not too bad overall
Delicious. Easy recipe to follow.
