I used to make it may years ago. I think you pour an egg mixture over the top.

I think there a loads of variations- some have apricots and raisins. Some use lemon rind but I prefer it without the sweeter taste.

You can create your own curry powder aswell but I prefer shop bought cos I can never get the combinations right

My OH doesnt like it but he is a meat & 2 veg kind a guy.

Kids liked it when they were growing up but dont ask anymore.

I got the recipe years ago from and old Margarite Patton book- in my experimental phase, when I'd try anything, especially if it saved a couple of pounds. Usually one pot meals that fed a lot of hungry mouths. I dont cook as much as i used to!!
