The dark nights are drawing in, Strictly’s on the tele, and I don’t know about you but a Saturday night on the sofa beats freezing your arse off on a night out any day. But before you grab the local takeaway menu this weekend, why not save your pennies by whipping up this super sexy chicken jalfrezi – yep, I’m calling a curry sexy. It tastes bloomin’ incredible! Even my other half said, and I quote “this actually tastes as good as a takeaway”. Try it for yourself…
