sartoric

I’ve been absent for a while, but I’m still kicking and cooking. I bought the Meera Sodha book “Made in India:Cooked in Britain” and I absolutely love it. Here’s her Jaipur Slaw, and her mums chicken curry with garlic beans, rice, tomato chutney and dal.

Kinda herby, citrusy, sweet and juicy. I’ve only plucked them off the tree and popped in the mouth straight up. I have one growing quite close to the house, and one along the driveway.

The berries of the curry tree are really delicious.

Northern Thailand also has hot springs where you can cook eggs !

Without the Arctic char and Langoustines though. I have been to NZ, but not the far south where glaciers lie. It is on the fridge list.

Maybe you misunderstood, it’s KennethT going to Penang at Christmas. Unfortunately I have no travel plans on the horizon.

Thanks from me too @KennethT. I’m unlikely to get to Iceland in this current life, so I appreciate seeing it through your eyes. Looking forward to Penang at Christmas.

Oh my gosh, those drumsticks. We have tried growing them here, not successfully yet. It’s been too wet. Umm, also those dosas look fabulous.

All looks fabulous @Kerala. So jealous of your trip with family, I reckon it would be a huge difference to being a western tourist. I think someone else asked the question about the spice mix on my thread. IIdidn’t know at the time, so it’s good to solve the mystery. Jew town was pretty fascinating, and the synagogue was a first for me. Did you know every handmade tile is different ?

Thanks so much for this. Takes me back to our time in Kerala, which we very much enjoyed.

Wow, that was a fabulous meal ! Thanks so much for taking the time to share with us.

@KennethT I wanted to buy a string hopper device in Sri Lanka but lost interest when the vendor wanted $50. He clearly thought I was born yesterday.

Putting tomato juice in the fridge now ! Oh my, that Bloody Mary. Thanks for sharing.

This is also how you make paneer, the firm Indian cheese. It’s pressed into blocks rather than broken up.

I got my copy of Dishoom in the post yesterday. Jumped right in making Chicken Berry Britannia from page 232. It was delicious despite no cranberries.
