Best thing I've ever eaten. Also added some of the haldi blend to the mash and topped it off with some mango chutney, worked a treat!

Wow - high praise indeed! We're so happy to hear how much you loved this dish, it certainly looks delicious! Great idea to add some Haldi and mango chutney to the mash too!
