- Suggestions: Consider adding more vegetables like carrots or mushrooms for texture. Some recommend increasing the spice level to personal taste.
- Next-day meals: Generous portions often provided leftovers, with some able to stretch it to three servings or freeze batches.
- Versatility: Works well slow-cooked in the oven for deeper flavour; some added mince or extra beans for more substance.
