SO HOW'D IT GO?
Good, but I definitely used too much mint. Can anyone post amounts of the spices for those of us who aren't good at guessing, please? I'm completely new to veg cooking and eating (and most of these veggies) and I'm not good at balancing the flavors yet. :o
It was good, I think I added a wee bit too much chilli but I like things spicy anyways.
