Final Comments


-pumpkin and potato best cooked by parboiling then brushing with oil (and salt) and baked

-Use different flavours out of jars if you like. Indian curry paste works quite well with roast chook too and then you serve it cold with salad and yoghurt or warm with naan bread and veg curry.
