Notes
Dianne says she served with 50g basmati rice (these are additional calories)
She adds ‘This is a really scrummy dish but care is needed regarding type of sweetener. Fortunately, I realised my sweetener, whilst it says granulated on the container, it wasn’t sugar sized granules and so I put 10g in rather than 100g. Even then it was sweet so next time I will use 5g.’
