How can I get thus smoother because its quite thick
HollyMonday 4th November 2024
Hey Hayley, if you prefer you can add some extra water if the curry sauce is too thick for your liking and blitz again, hope that helps!
Sophie.joThursday 11th May 2023
How much is classes as one portion? I’m calorie counting and need to know thank you
SharonFriday 12th May 2023
Hi Sophie.jo, our Mushy Pea Curry serves 6, so one portion would be one sixth of the whole dish. If you want to be exact, you could weigh the total cooked dish and divide by six to work out the exact weight of one portion. Hope this helps!

Can this be made in slow cooker
SharonThursday 18th May 2023
Hi Nikki, our Mushy Pea Curry isn’t suitable for cooking in a slow cooker and is better suited to cooking on the hob as it’s so quick and easy. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
