Paneer press gadget. The colour matches nicely with my kitchen knives and base gravy containers.

I am envious of your garden. Isn't that well over half an acre? Huge! I would need a tractor to keep on top of it.

No way ! I have almost an acre, and a Husqvarna 315X is all that is needed ...

Thanks for all these great tips for making paneer. I am on it. Looking at a plastic press gadget. I like gadgets. One of the reviewers reckons it's the perfect size for paneer made with 2 l milk, which should be adequate for me. Can also store with it in the fridge. Only thing is, the inner basket is moulded, so when done my paneer will say TOFUTURE on top of it. Not ideal, but I can live with it.

How are you all doing? Well I hope?

I have to admit that I haven't really been cooking many curries in the last 14months, mainly to do with moving house and health issues and nothing to do with convenience. I am going to start looking back on here for some new inspiration though (Kashmiri Bob's stuff always looks fantastic and at the same time, a little off-putting that I never get near those standards if I am honest).

This last year has mainly been about getting my 'land' (more like Livo's herb patch I reckon) but I think a good size for an English garden these days, of slightly more than 3,000 sq ft (280 sq m.) into shape for growing year round produce. I also have a patio which is ideal for tomatoes/chillies and capsicum but that needs the wife's permission as it is currently for Gin 'Parties' most of the warm weather.

Anyway, I will try to be more regular (as we all should ) and see what you are all up to.. and if I have anything to contribute.

Regards,
BAJ

Hi Bob. Good to see you back. I am envious of your garden. Isn't that well over half an acre? Huge! I would need a tractor to keep on top of it. I post too many photos. Guess I just hope it helps a little to keep the forum ticking along. Thanks for your comments. Don't be put off though. Good lighting, loads of oil, and food colouring!

A while back I bought two whole boxes of Sun Hee noodles. Trying hard to keep the carbs down. Therefore these will need to be stored, for some time. Each bag though comes with a sachet of seriously hot sauce. You also get a sachet of toasted sesame seeds. So, a Sherpur Inferno is in the works. Reckon it will give the mixed Naga Sherpur a run for its money. Only problem is I would like to have it on a garlic naan.

Curry Base Chat / Re: Next base to try

Another recipe using the Indian base. Chicken tikka dhansak. He has a special guest at the begining.

There are a fair few ingredients in this recipe.

Not sure about using tikka in a curry these days. Haven't made one in a while. Doing one soon though. Balti lamb tikka, or Lamb tikka vindaloo. Managed to over cook a grilled batch recently, so there we have it.

Paneer is very straightforward and worth the time. I do it regularly with a gallon of whole milk. I bought the missis a cheese press the other year when we had a bash at making cheddar, but heavy pots can do the job too.
Chetna Makhan has a good video on it.
