Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Omit the oil if using a non-stick pan. Can be served with a dollop of cream. For a variation it is also very nice cooked with some curry powder to taste. Stock cubes and powders say 1 cube or teaspoon per cup of water but I have found it adds more flavour to add a couple more.
