Notes

TIPS: Garam masala is a popular Indian spice blend (usually pepper, caraway seeds, fennel seeds, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves). Find it in the spice aisle of most supermarkets. • Add it: 200g 99% fat-free plain yoghurt mixed with 1 garlic clove (crushed), 1 tsp finely grated lime rind and 2 tsp lime juice to serve. • Swap it: Lamb for skinless chicken breast fillets.
