When do you add the milk
Milk is added with water. Now i have made corrections in the recipe.
There is milk in the ingredients but it is not mentioned in the directions. I’m assuming it gets added with the water tomatoes etc
You were right it was missed in the instructions. Now i have mentioned it.
What size are the cans of tomatoes, please??
400 g cans of diced tomatoes are used in this recipe.
