Notes[/size]
This is not truly authentic for two reasons:

1) The original dish was made with pork
2) It did not contain potatoes.

Of course, thie recipe is easily modified to remove these anomalies.

I've made this quite a few times, and it's quite popular.

It certainly does not need to be made hot.

I'm afraid I don't know.

It was in a recipe I obtained whilst in India and it seems to be very popular with people for whom I've made it - the treacle does definitely add to the flavour without making it actually taste of treacle.

Yes, my answering was intended to be slightly surreal.
