Topic: Learn 2 Cook Book By Abdul Mohed

I thank Phil and Razor for having something useful to say on this subject, in the style of debate, rather than the previous 'waste of space' contribution from martinvic.

Should I start a separate thread entitled 'would you invite a vegetarian to dinner?' rather than ruin this thread? I have plenty more to say on the topic but I don't think this thread is the right place.

What's all this meaningless waffle about hypothetical scenarios - thought it was about a cook book - is this a curry forum!!!!!!!!!!!!

well done hampshire hog for bringing the thread back to earth - I would love a separate thread though, am happy to debate the whys and wherefores of the rich and varied cuisine that is Indian.

But this was really contributing to this thread about Abduls book though was it George?

That sounds like far too much hassle! Why invite anyone who's fussy or has self-imposed "special needs" (e.g. vegetarians) which mean they're a pain in the proverbial? Round here, people get what they're given.

Sorry, but people reading some of the things you post is bad enough, but then seeing you are actually a moderator on here, in my honest opinion, makes this site look bad.


Humblest apologies to everyone else for going off topic and arguing on here.
My view is clear so I'll say no more on it.

It is a curry forum but it is also unfortunately a forum in which rudeness and personal attacks are common and the lack of effective moderation means that trollery, spam and topic drift go unchallenged and uncorrected. The fact there's only one admin (who seems disinterested in the site) and no active moderators save for one individual of bizarre personality sets the tone and ensures many people who would be active members visit and post rarely if at all.

And before anyone says it - of course if I don't like it I can stay away can't it? Which is mostly what I do!

The tragedy is the lost opportunity of how good this forum could be if properly run.

"prawnsalad had also insulted me by saying my post was unhelpful and unneeded."

ROFL you think that's insulting? Maybe I should take my teeth off my tongue next time.

Been looking back though your posts though George and Martinvic is absolutely right and like him for the sake of this site I am going to look the other way to your prejudice against vegetarians/selective eaters (which incidently is an ancient concept practised by many great people not just me!)

Opps this went a bit off topic didint it 
I hope every ones okay and has not moved
away from the site.

God job we all love cooking 

Saag Alloo from this book has anyone else made it?

I plan to make it again on Monday, i have still to use all of
Chewy's base so that's the base i will use.

I think we really have moved along way on here over the last year
or so  fantastic.

Haldi,  I've been away from the site for a long time due to moving house and business commitments and have had a wee loook over the weekend. I have a dinner party on Saturday coming and was looking for something different. I will probably order the book after posting this though looking at your photo of the Korma it looked very different from the typical Korma you would find in Glasgow. I realise this is Bangladeshi inspired and will have the usual regional variation thing though noticed the finished base was almost identical in colour to The Ashoka Base I made up on Saturday past.

I've always been inspired by your contribution so thanks for the recommendation.
