My family loved this and has already asked for it again! Even the normally picky 2 year old. To make things easier, I just put it all in a crock pot to stew while I was at work. I also substituted tumeric instead of curry because I don’t like curry.
Easy to make, delicious to eat and good for you too. What’s not to like?
