"This makes the perfect accompaniment to any curry - vegetarian or meat based. They are very easy to make and the fresh flavors are so much better when you cook it yourself. Give it a go. Recipe courtesy of Jamie Oliver. Serves 6-8."

Just made it, eating it now, and it's so delicious I had to created an account just to thank you! So, thank you! lol. I used half the butter and will probably use even less of it next time. But tastes great!

This was really good and quite decadent-from all the butter, I'm sure. Made the recipe as written. The potates were not swimming in butter. They were able to soak it all up making them soft and oh so rich. I loved all of the flavors in this. I will be making this again.

An easy recipe to follow for a nice variation on potatoes. I definetely did not use that much butter - only about 3 tablespoons.

I was disappointed with this. It's simple to make, and smells fabulous. However, it's far too greasy; the flavours of the spices were just lost in the sheer amount of oil. We found it very bland and uninteresting. I'd add fenugreek and maybe a bay leaf or two. Double the amount of cumin, and halve the fat maybe.
