Starters and Side Dishes Chat / Re: Nan-e Barbari (Persian Flatbread)

Been getting these breads now and then.  Got one last week.  Still £2.50.  Not bad given they must be the equivalent of 8 regular naan breads, at least.  Now when they are ready the baker sticks a price label on the bag, to speed things up at the checkout.  Also has the name of the bread on it.  They are Sangak bread, not Barberi bread as I had assumed.  Have checked the difference.  The dimpled pattern on the underside of Barberi is done by punching the dough (knuckles).  Whereas with Sangak the pattern is due to the pebbles they are traditionally cooked on.  How nice is that?  Could prove tricky to make at home from scratch though.  Doesn't affect me of course as I have never had any success making any form of bread at home.  It's just beyond me and I get flour/mess all over the place.

Does look like there is a problem with posting photos.  Made a third batch of Rik's yesterday.  Today I am making the King of Bases (MDB MKI).  Was looking forward to cluttering up this section with photos.  I will drop Onions a line. Can't have a Pictures of your Curry section without any photos.

Hey Mick
This is the vindaloo paste.

And this is the dish.

I didn’t add the roast potatoes but at some point will try with boiled spuds just to see.
It’s a great curry for me.

Robbo

Thanks very much!

That is the message I saw when I tried to add a photograph using the "Attachments and other options" function, directly below the text entry / edit box. I don't use the site's image host or links to post photos.  It seems that both methods are failing to operate.

Is this what you're seeing KB?

"An Error Has Occurred!
The attachments upload directory is not writeable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved."

No livo.  Nothing to indicate an error.  The forum's Image host seems happy and I see "file uploaded successfully".  I copy and paste the usual link into my post as normal, but no photo appears in Preview, or when I Post.  Just my text.  Very odd.  Could be as you say something to do with the recent down time.

Good catch Livo, forgot that. I’ll definitely have a look next time I visit our enormous Indian supermarket.

Still unable to post photos.  Frustrating.  I have a rather nice Lamb Jalfrezi made with Rik's base to show off.

Seems to be a glitch posting photos.  My previous post includes an ImageHost link.  Nothing showed when I used Preview either.  Tried several times with different photos.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

Rob

My most recent attempt at posting photos (Attachments and other options) resulted in my pictures all being rotated 90'. I needed to remove them, go to a photo editor and modify them slightly by cropping, save them and then re-post.  I'd never experienced this problem before.  However, this was just before the recent site maintenance, so maybe your issue is related to the upgrade or whatever took the site offline for a few days recently.

Don't forget the Reverse Base (Onions Baked).
Reverse Base

Although, you could just fry and melt some onions first or use some bought onion paste.  I have used this one, which I found to be pretty good.  You should be able to find a similar product over there.  I believe Shan does one as well.
