It's spicy, fragrant, lusciously thick and indecently easy to make.
It knows it's tasty and it knows you think so too.
It's definitely smutty!

It luxuriates wantonly in the fridge until you need it. It knows it won't be there long. I like to serve it with cheese and crusty bread or spread on a wrap before adding salad leaves, roast vegetables and fresh mozzarella.
You can add a dollop to your plate when you are enjoying a curry instead of mango chutney and it's great on a wholemeal sandwich with brie and slices of ripe tomato or feta and salad.
My absolutely favourite way to have it is in a stacked roll with a burger.
