AI technique check — Looks sound The recipe is sound and will produce a flavorful Cape Malay curry. There are a few minor clarity issues regarding missing ingredient quantities and the description of the braising liquid as optional, but a competent home cook will easily navigate these. Informational notes (not blocking): • [Medium] Ingredients: Several ingredients (garlic, ginger, potatoes, peas, chillies, coriander, and salt) do not have specified quantities. • [Medium] Instructions: The recipe refers to the beef broth and buttermilk as 'optional ingredients... as desired'. Since mutton and beef require a long simmer to become tender, some form of liquid (like the beef broth) is necessary to prevent the meat from drying out or burning.
