    This is a one-pot dish and so it's perfect to make on holiday if you're self-catering. Most of the ingredients are widely available but if you think you may not be able to get the cumin seeds, then take them with you in a small freezer bag.

    Not bad, but felt like a side dish rather than a main. Very easy. I would probably use ground cumin rather than seeds next time.
