Notes

This quantity makes a generous 600-650 ml of sauce, which will keep 2 days in the refrigerator. If too much HALVE the quantity. If you are unable to buy buttermilk I recommend to make your own - mix 600ml milk with the juice of 1 LARGE lemon (or 2 medium size). Leave to sit and thicken for 5 mins after which you will have homemade buttermilk.
