Did roughly half the quantities to use up a sad, ancient large potato and a sorry for itself parsnip. Didn’t have peas but did have the end of an old savoy cabbage (and used some passata rather than tinned tomatoes). Thankfully had all the right spices and finishing flavours! So delicious and easy

Once again, I followed the instructions to the T including the "lid tips" and it was another success! Two thumbs up! Had it with chicken salad. This will become a regular menu item for us I am sure. The potatoes cooked perfectly!

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

ah yes the pieces need to be small and mustard can have a kick

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
