The smell alone transports me back to my childhood so it holds such sentimental value. That’s the beauty of food – it can trigger wonderful memories. The flavour here is sensational, like a very rich satay. It’s got to be one of my all-time favourite fakeaways. And if you enjoyed this recipe, you can pick up my first ever cookbook The Healthy Slow Cooker Book or my latest slow cooker book Slow Cooker Even Easier on Amazon today.
