Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

My husband won't eat anything that resembles soup or stew, but absolutely loves this and requests it often.
It is also a great way to use lentils and I'm sure would be nice without the chicken as a meat-free alternative.
I sometimes use cornflour and water instead of potato to thicken the vegetable mixture.
