An old family favourite. You can add cilantro instead of the parsley if you wish or add more curry powder or use a curry paste instead. Add some finely diced chilli or ground chilli flakes if you wish. For a gluten-free version be sure that all ingredients used are gluten-free. Cooking time does not include the 30 minutes refrigeration time required
