    Used hot curry powder instead of mild and it was quite hot. Black treacle and cloves gives this it a different flavour to usual curries. Thought it might be too watery but it wasn`t.

    Really liked this, the treacle adds a nice sweetness and I used hot curry powder too - loved it!

    Loved this> Found it a very simple and easy recipe which produced a hearty and warming supper on a miserable February evening. Did not use a Scotch Bonnet chili as the supermarket had non in. Used a "medium/hot" red chili they had and it worked OK. Served with the coconut rice detailed in the goes well with section and it did! Had plenty of left overs and came back at it after it sitting in the fridge for 2 days, served it with Oinion Rice, and it was even better! Super recipe!

    Good recipe. I didn't use Scotch Bonnet just a few chilli flakes. We ate half on the day and I froze the other half. It was nice to call on a week later! We had it with the coconut rice which was also really good. Will make again.
