This recipe is the nuts! I followed the instructions carefully though I had to use standard green chillis. Once I reached the right balance of sugar and lemon against the rich tomatos I had arrived at the taste I hoped I would achieve. Thank you.

Enjoyed this recipe though we didn't have all of the ingredients. In particular didn't have coriander leaves or chili peppers but it came out ok anyway. Prep time was longer than 10 minutes - probably double. Cook time was about 30 minutes.
