Great recipe! Tasty!!!! fast, healthy and just all round good. I followed all your steps only added a few more spices I had on hand (all completely optional like hing, awaijn, amchur etc - really not necessary!) The only thing I felt really lifted was a little sugar. But such a great fast recipe!! Thank you for the inspiration (uh, I think I might try this with tinned mackerel next week)
