  I was a little disappointed with this recipe, tastes too sweet and the consistency is very similar to soup. I did water it down slightly but was afraid of over doing it. If someone gets the sugar measurements correct, please let me know. I wasnt sure how many coriander seeds to put in, so i added a teaspoon.

  I always halve recipes where I can till I've tried them myself. Glad I did this time. Everyone else seems to have added more chilli but even the stated amount was too hot for me and would probably be for small kiddies. Also, how big is a chilli? they vary so much. I'll give it another go with just a 4cm piece to 800g toms

  Tastes very fresh next time i would be temped to deseed & the chop the tomatoes before hand. It was slightly thick at the end so i added a dash more olive oil & a splash of water, the chilli i used was quite fat so should have used half that, Next time i will if a sizable chilli. Overall pretty good i would make some more again, Better than the stuff off the shelf.

  This tasted nice but was way too sweet. It's more like a sweet tomato chutney. I will make it again but with half the amount of sugar, maybe even less.

  I took on board what was written & used half the amount of sugar, I also used 2 cans of chopped tomatoes not fresh & it was lovely. It says 'lasts 3 months in the fridge', if only, its too good!!
