This is a great dish for sharing if you have family and friends around. I made it in a large pot which a placed on the centre of the table and everybody helped themselves, served it with Basmati rice, and I also made some flatbreads which are perfect for dipping in the sauce. It’s the perfect solution for a gathering and it's so easy to make.
