I cooked this tonight, very tasty. It was a little too spicy for my daughter, so will put less in next time.

It’s it steps 2 and 3 of your recipe above. Is it better to add the salt after that initial cook or before it? Potatoes always either stay hard or over cook for me! I can never quite get it right

Hi Nisha. I'm just following your video to make this recipe & have noticed there are no peas mentioned in the list of ingredients. Looking forward to trying the finished product 😊

Sarah thanks a million! I have just changed it but the cup of peas is in the method so I hope it works for you!

Thank you for your super speedy reply, that's great. Yes I noticed the peas were in the method but I tend to look at the ingredient list first to check I have everything. Thanks again.

I made the mistake of leaving the potato pieces too big so it took much longer to cook. Was quite spicy but with a lovely flavour. A nice alternative to Bombay potatoes

This was great, I didn’t have any peas so swapped it for frozen green beans chopped small. Seemed okay, can’t wait to make again with the peas 😀

Is there an alternative to nigela seeds? I'd really like to do but don't have any?

No problem- cumin or mustard seeds or even a mix of the two will do
