have you all been watching the repeats of Keith Floyd's programme on Sky Travel? Its called " Floyd on India".  A brilliant show which uses fascinating ingredients...has anyone managed to find curry leaves in their local asian food store? or how about mustard seed oil? and he uses the spice mace (the rind of a nutmeg?) all very interesting. He travels all around india and cooks regional dishes, Its on Sky Travel at 9am, 2pm and 6.30pm.  Check it out! oh and not many bottles of wine in sight!
Glasgow is the king of curry! and its been proven

1 large onion chopped, teaspoon of chilli powder, teaspoon salt, teaspoon mint sauce and a few big squirts of tomato sauce!! mix well...sit in fridge for a few hours. The salt extracts the ;iwuid from the onion and leaves them with a totally different texture, thye are soft yet crunchy!This is exactly how the local curry houses around Glasgow make it. enjoy ;D
