Crack up. I love it. ;D  It's a little different to other videos Ive watched of him but I do like this cooking style.

Very good indeed.  And rather blows out of the water the theory that oil (or ghee, or whatever) is essential in order to allow the essential oils to leach out of the spices.  I very much suspect that the palm wine ("toddy") plays that r

But in this particular case he does not select spices on the basis of their alcohol-solubility

 ;D ;D ;D True to form, the resident Troll misses the point of the video.

Which Ive posted a couple of times in the past, but a good reminder of a great Indian Chef.

Dont forget Sanjay got the recipe from a Toddy Tapper. Lol. ;D ;D

cheers Chewy

I particularly like his criteria for knowing when the dish is done, which apparently has very little to do with what's in the cooking pot.

I've just watched a few videos and read up on Palm Wine around the world. I'm very interested in the incredibly short and natural fermentation process.  It's remarkable that the sap from this morning's harvest can be consumed at 4% ABV by the afternoon.  Also interesting is how quickly it goes through complete fermentation to acetification, and all from wild yeast.

I wonder if the laugh I had in bed this morning had anything to do with the fact that I am able to walk quite well and without a stick this morning. If it did, I sincerely thank you bhamcurry.   :) :) :)  I think I'll have to go and find some palm trees!!! Climbing them should test the new hip joint out.  ;D
