Hi

Always wear decent trousers and non-absorbent shoes when cooking!

Well, yesterday evening had all the potential to turn into a complete balls up!

Managed to knock the frying pan off the stove twice!

1st time was at the g&g stage for some Saag Aloo. Oil and g&g all down me, on the cooker top, down the cooker front and in a nice sticky meter or so radius from the cooker all round the floor.

This obviously lead to some right royal f-ing & c-ing.

Some cleaning up later two Saag Aloo's were produced without further incident.

Next came my first attempt at the Chewy Madras with the Taz base, and f*** me if I didn't get as far as adding some base for the reduction method when I knocked the f****** pan off the stove again!

It went everywhere! - what an almighty mess when the pan hit the floor it went in every direction! - and let me tell you the Taz base and mix has a massive turmeric staining capability!

Anyway the moral to this story is to always wear suitable clothes and apron when cooking! and preferably don't be really tired (having been sorting out the loft all day), may have had the odd can of larger too, which probably did'nt help

Anyway, it turned out well in the end and can thoroughly recommend the Taz base, mix and Chewy Madras

LOL. You should have taken some pics of the mess you made.  ;D I can only imagine the carnage after the Madras went on the floor. At least you didn't waste any base though.

I've lost count of the number of items of clothing that I've stained with turmeric.

 ;D

Priceless!

... and the moral of the story is, after a hard days labour and a nice cool can or two later for just rewards, let someone else do the hard work and order in a takeaway.

Having stained many shirts with turmeric myself- I've found that lemon juice on the stain works wonders- then let it dry in natural light.
Vinegar seems to work too.
