OH! I also added 1 Tbsp flour at the end to thicken it up- make sure your whisk it is completely otherwise you will get clumps!

This is great! I made a few adjustments....I sautéed the onions with the garlic; I used 500g of passata, 1 tsp cumin, a pinch of cinnamon and chicken broth instead of water.

Very nice. I added some pepper and used spring onions instead of onion. I won't be using as much chilli powder as the original recipe as it blew my girlfriends head off!

A nice simple sauce. Next time I'll add a few fresh peppers and mushrooms to give it a bit more texture.

Was a little bit too spicy but I probably put too much chilli powder in it.
