Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Inspired by this recipe. Didn’t have whole chilies (and scared of the heat). Subbed chopped garlic and ginger juice into the sauce in lieu of fresh. Used chopped yellow onion — added to last few minutes of potato cook time. Only had half potato amount, but did full amount of sauce and peanuts.

    We really liked this though I left out the roasted chiles and just added sambal.
