Title: Paki recipes

That's what they call it. It would be culturally inappropriate for me to comment.
It would get my daughter suspended from year 1 for a start.

But she made great yorkshire puddings today, so tomorrow we make a pakirecipe and have fun with her pc teachers with the show and tell on Monday. Hope to be called off work in the afternoon!!!

That is what the site is called, what am I to do but laugh?

Some nice simple homestyle dishes at this site. The lamb jalfrezi reads and looks great -

Post by: Domi on May 15, 2010, 12:20 PM: lol commis, she's not bad but sadly she's a devout muslim and devoted to her hubby :P She's very wealthy, extremely intelligent, funniest woman I've ever met but she's got a mouth like a Navvy ;D I keep trying to get her on the turn but she's having none of it :( so to answer your question, I would but she won't :( ???

I'll be piling on the pressure recipe-wise again this weekend and I'm going over to hers next weekend so if she doesn't come across before then I'll have her on the phone to her mam pen and paper in hand lol ;D

Glad to hear that she is happy in her life, well the language is part of being from Hudd! Please follow on the recipe front. A lot of people still will not take on board the origin of BIR cooking.

I have to agree...when it comes to starters and sides traditional home cooking beats the BIR hands down IMO. I would never pay for a BIR biryani after tasting a home-style recipe, there's a world of difference and I certainly wouldn't pay good money for the muck they chuck out in BIRs :o There's alot of reverse snobbery about :-\

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Post by: Stephen Lindsay on August 09, 2010, 07:48 PM: I think the term bhuna is a technique rather than a dish so I would assume the Bhuna to be an invention for the British market. The frying of ground spices or a spice paste in oil is to "bhuna" them.
