This recipe is super delicious and really goes quite a long way. It works well as leftovers for lunch the following day, just make sure you cook enough rice as there is also plenty of gravy.

We think you could add eggplant, capsicum or stir through spinach at the last minute if you were after a one dish wonder. YUM.
