I wanted something different so here it is:



Clockwise from bottom right - Lamb Koftas, Mushroom Bhaji, Plain Rice, Cabbage Foogath
Top - pre-bought Parathas

Very tasty looking spread there SL.  Wish i could just nip round for a bite.  The mushroom bhaji is drawing me closer
I'll just have to make do with my experimental madras and plain old pilau rice - after the pub of course 

[Stephen Lindsay]

sounds good CH, I'm not in the pub but I do have a few ciders on the go .

That lamb kofta curry looks the business! But I assume it's the one on the bottom left, not right

[Stephen Lindsay]

yes spicey I don't know my left from right or my elbow from my arse

[curryhell]

The cabbage foogath SL, does it feature on BIR menus in your neck of the woods?  Or is it a personal preference.  Can't say i've seen it locally

[Stephen Lindsay]

CH - the cabbage foogath doesn't feature on any menus I've seen. I had an abundance of left over cabbage after making some soup so, having consulted some tomes for a cabbage recipe,  low and behold I came across this in  PC's Indian Restaurant Cookbook. Very simple, just a stir fry of sliced onions, shredded cabbage, chopped garlic and chilli and dessicated coconut. Nice it was too!

I love a cabbage curry. In particular,  when i go to a Sri Lankan place and get rice and three. 

Plain basmati with either a meat or veg curry, dal and a cabbage curry. Delicious.
