Topic: Happy days

[goncalo]

Went shopping and finally got some things I had been dying to find, namely:

1. Mr Naga paste!
2. Kashmiri Chillies (though I'm judging by the looks as the indian chap at the green grocers couldn't tell whether they were or not)
3. Rajah All Purpose Seasoning for CBM's base (though I realize how unimportant it really is in the context of that recipe.)
4. and just above the green chilli are the seeds that markh3565 kindly posted to me for free! Thanks markh3565!
5. Shan's Special Garlic Pickle that Julian mentions in his recent video and I felt curious about
 


I managed to tick a lot of the "to buys" this time around! Happy days!

Well either they're not kashmiri chillies or they're very under ripe because kashmiri chillies are usually red - as is the chilli powder.

thanks SS, I picked them up based on what I saw in your post -- I hope they are right

Either way, now I do have the seeds to grow them, so even if the ones I bought aren't, I am going to try and grow them!

True, but then all Chilli's start out green and turn red as they ripen. Well they don't all turn red, but they all start out green

They certainly look like Kashmiri but then so do the standard green finger chilli's you get in most supermarkets.

Impossible to tell really.

DAMN IT. I must be suffering of ADHD with all my sudden lack of attention as of late.

No intentions to offend either way ;-)

Oh and it's Mr.Naga Pickle not paste, but they do produce a Mr.Naga sauce in same jars.

Thanks Chewy.

I'm a bit confused now: Which one is used the most? is it the sauce or the pickle? and is there a substantial difference? if there is, can you describe it?

[DalPuri]

This is the sauce which i've never seen on the shelves.

Sorry can't help, as it hasn't arrived in the shops I use, as yet.

I saw it in an advert and thought it was either good marketing
or bad, using the same jars and packaging.
If I do get a jar, I'll report.

The one you bought is the one thats been used in BIRs for twenty years.
cheers Chewy
