Curry me up Jamie..

I've never made a curry, yes i have eaten a few, but never have i made one. I have had the best of intentions to make one for quite some time, years actually..lol.. and yesterday i finally got round to it. It's a Jamie Oliver recipe from his return of the naked chef, tried and tested by Rob..So on this recommendation off i went.. (this recipe serves 6-8 so i halved it).. Ange xx
