Hi hells2012sw.
If you leave the Amchoor out it will just change the taste, it has a tart taste, on the internet it suggests that you can use a small amount of lemon juice to get a similar taste but I haven't tried that.

Hi Pete,
I hope you don't mind but I have saved my favourite recipes into a pdf document and downloaded it as a recipe book onto my ipad. I can now find all my favourites without having to trawl through all these pages. I really can't wait to get started. I'm off work next week and plan to try lots of recipes.
Congratulations on your weight loss and please, keep the recipes coming.
Thanks

Pete I sometimes think recipes will never be as tasty as the OP says....but your peanut curry.....WOW - I adapted as I'm not a fan of sweetener so omitted that and I used a chicken stock cube instead....was simply wonderful! Thank you! xx

Hi Lisa.
I haven't tried to freeze the chow mein myself but I can't see any reason why you can't , just remember to reheat fully!
