Pretty much this.
I left them boiling for too long and they kinda fell to bits, so they were less mashed and more macerated. I stuck them on the tray anyway and they were fucking lush after an hour.

Bob! Roota is asking questions that I can't answer!
Bob!

I think we can assume that the Orange Fanta is the one with the ORANGE liquid in it. And it is probably safe to assume that the Lemon Fanta is the one with the LEMON coloured liquid in it.
Therefore, Twist must be the......

instead of measuring them out means I can't properly judge quantities and I end up with something that tastes somewhat Indian but not properly curry :(
And next time I do it I'll have the same problem (except I'll probably overspice it to compensate).
