If anyone is interested, it's Ramadan week at Lidl from Thursday.
Spices, rice, flour etc. on sale.

I wish my nearest Aldi was a bit closer. Could do with some more dark soy. I wonder if they do Kikkoman or Chinese brands. Found out before Christmas that the supermarket own brands and Amoy, Asia, etc., are absolutely rubbish quality. 10 % soy, if you are lucky. The rest is caramel and chemicals. Kikkoman is proper fermented soy.

Haven't tried it yet. Arrived yesterday. This is the mix powder that Steven Heap recommends on his YouTube channel.



Plan a chicken curry first, then madras/vindaloo.

Forgot to add descriptions.

Chicken tikka
Kashmiri lamb (half shoulder)
Sirloin steak (and an onion)
Masala fish (sea bass)
Samphire crinkle cuts
Pani Puri
Julian's Pakistani Karahi
Paneer biryani (with toasted cashew nuts).

This one is Masala fish (sea bream)

I like his channel Robbo. Does some interesting stuff.

Skewers look beautiful. Can’t cook on my grill outside right now. Today was -11 and that’s deg F not deg C.  Really cold.
Trying something new tonight. Have Steven Heap’s base and going to dilute it and make a biryani using that instead of water to cook the rice. Worth a bash.
