sorry for only posting them now. Note that there will be a bit of trial and error ofcos with the amount of chilli powder and heat. so I recommend medium to low heat initially so stuff does not burn.

Since I'm on this low carb diet plan, what do you think would be a good replacement for the potatoes.. or can I just leave them out completely.
