Lacking Flavour
I tried this dish at the resturant and found it lacked the flavours of ginger, chilli. cashew nuts and corriander. However I will make the recipe as it sould be a full of flavour. I mentioned this to resturanter and was told they keep flavours down because of children diners!! We travelled half way across Sydney to try the flavours of Brazil.
