This is my absolute favourite meal in the world and I get butterflies every time I smell the smoked pork and curry flavours, mixed with the heated flour scent that I know signals Rotis, wafting down the hall. The first time Ash made this for me she told me that she really loves this meal but she was not sure if it was something I would enjoy. She has never been so wrong. And that w
