Miris malu (Sri Lankan fish curry) will do nicely. I wanted other recipes from here.  Chicken Madras and Mango Chicken for mixed curry meal.

I see what you did there.  ;D

Mackerel was delicious.

And what was the final recipe of choice?


I love fresh mackeral

A hybrid of Miris Malu and Indian fish curry using a proprietary Fish Masala by Melam. Quite spicy but very nice.

HA! Good one.

I wonder if smoked fish would work?

Is the CR0 dying?
I have never given this post much thought, but after the last two-three weeks of your average everyday dinners being posted
My question along the line of this thread would be, is the CR0 turning into a general food forum?

My question along the line of this thread would be, is the CR0 turning into a general food forum?

I think not.  I think there are number of explanations for the content of the "Josephine" thread :

• Few of us eat Indian food everyday; for me, perhaps 2 to 3 times a week at most
• If people are proud of what they have cooked (whether or not Indian), they like to demonstrate their skills bt posting photographs
• Many will be keen to portray the forum in a positive light by contributing to food-related threads rather than flame wars
• The opening post of "Josephine" specifically stated "I have placed this in the talk about anything other than curry thread because dinner does not have to be a curry"

None of these reasons is mutually exclusive (yes, I know that that construct is logically flawed, but you all understand my meaning), and I therefore imagine that it is a combination of all of them that has led to this recent focus on non-curry related activities.  And since it does indeed portray the forum in a far more favourable light than the flame-wars that have dominated it of late, I for one am in favour of the thread, 'though not (of course) to the exclusion of real curry-related topics.

Hi Phil, you have explained my thoughts well in your post above, I think what you say is a fair statement .
I have noticed a few of the regular poster of curry related topics have disappeared of late.
Front page had been empty of new curry related photos.

I will also find myself retreating from the forum if the current line of food continues, but that's because of my personal passion or cooking curry or even Asian, Chinese related food.

Cheers
