  Really nice as a side dish, left out lemon juice (I didn't have any) but added about 100ml of passata just to make it a little bit saucey!

  Made the potatoes with my 5 year old son last night - they were fantastic, even better than my local curry house. Easy, quick and delicious - what more can you ask for

  Quite tasty, but very dry - OK as a side dish, but not with rice or naan bread as suggested. There is no mention of when to use the other half of turmeric, although I presumed it went in with the other spices in Step 3.

  Thank you for pointing that out, I will change the method. But I have to say I have never experienced it being dry. My only suggestion would be to, add some tinned or fresh tomatoes as Jan kindly suggested, to make it that bit, "Saucey"! Hope this helps. :)

  These were great. Made without tomatoes and they were an excellent side dish. Recommended.

  I didn't have green chillis so used a teaspoon of hot chilli powder and added with the rest of the spices. I found it a bit on the dry side so added 2/3rds of a tin of chopped tomatoes. Very tasty!

  Lovely side dish. I would definitely advise to add the tomatoes so it has a sauce to it. I added more garlic...but i am a garlic fiend.

  Good, simple and tasty. More chilli can be added to get them to become a dish by themselves with green beans
