 No drink for Kerry tonight as she is on call but I decided a drink was in order for me.   This is an "aged" Brothers Perryman  and it is surely hitting the spot. 

 No dinner tonight as we seem both to have been grazing on and off all day.  Kerry took the rest of the lamb casserole with her to reheat when she gets a chance.  I finished the last of the top blade steak by inelegantly eating it with my fingers. I was quite sure you would not appreciate a photograph of that.

can someone translate what the word after "cumin" is on the second line?  :)

It's cardamom. Two green, one black.

 Good morning. Incredible as it may seem the sun is out and it's a gorgeous morning. Almost couldn't figure out what that light was coming through the window.

 

Kerry is at the hospital finishing up and if our luck holds we will be doing a couple of errands in Little Current and then heading off to Espanola for some much needed retail therapy.  

 

Don't know if there will be breakfast out or not so for the moment I will wait patiently to see.

Could someone please type a translation of the recipe into English? If anyone makes it, include your testing notes!

With regard to the curry recipe.  I wonder which Taste of India curry paste/powder is being referred to because there are a number of them, here:  http://www.tasteofindiafoods.com

One cumin would have to be one black cumin.  They are large and have a completely different flavour from the regular little cumin seeds.

I mentioned in my original post that it should read Kitchens of India. Try that.

Sorry, didn't see that.  Maybe this one, it looks kind of generic for chicken:  https://well.ca/products/kitchens-of-india-chicken-curry_60164.html

 

Superstore here carries this line of spices:  https://www.realcanadiansuperstore.ca/search/1501186280725/page/~item/Kitchens+of+India/~sort/recommended/~selected/true

My turn: what's the line after "add diced garlic"?

It says - fry up some cumin seed, a couple of green cardamon pods, a black cardamon pod (if you have it), some garlic and some chili flakes in oil then set aside to cool.

Mix the curry paste with dijon mustard and white vinegar. Rub into chicken, pour the cooled oil mixture over it. Add some diced garlic and cook on the stove. Reconstitute a package of coconut milk powder, add to chicken and cook for a further 10 to 15 minutes.

 

The dijon mustard he discovered when he was practicing medicine in Russia (he's a licensed physician in Sri Lanka) and was running out of curry paste and found it an excellent addition to his curry.
