Notes
- If the stew is slightly watery take 4tbs of the stew sauce and add into a bowl. In the same bowl add 2tbs of cornflour. Mix untill there are no clumps. Next, add the cornflour mix into the pot and stir in. Leave the stew to cook for longer until the stew is thicker. If needed add more cornflour.
