Hi folks,been away for all sorts of reasons as you'll see.
Were coping with the big C all sorts of arthritis and operations on broken bones,now another member of the family has Coeliac disease.
Since hes a curry lover as all of us,an looking for recipes to stop him drooling over our curries whilst eating his GF bread.
Help would be appreciated,thanks.
Geoff

Right guys,and ladies too,
You helped me through my CA kidney recuperation with your recipe suggestions,can you do the same for her indoors,she's got through 7 hours of Colo rectal surgery,just need some tasty food recipes that don't include skins of veg or nuts,not necessarily curries.
Appreciated Geoff.

Being from over the border but living in Midlands,I feel England have more chance of a bj from the Pope than winning,more likely Sain,Italy or Germany.What do you think?
Geoff

Has anyone had a punt at this 5&6 Ltr  cooker,looks reasonable value?

Have Pataks discontinued their Tandoori paste?Have tried all major supermarkets and Indian owned stores too.Have been offered Pataks tandoori spice marinade by the ton.Consistency is different,too.

Cheers. Geoff

Hi all,was exploring the River Test with possibility of good, reasonably priced fly fishing for trout.Probably too dear for me.We stopped at a pub,right on the River and the meal I chose was chicken Katsu curry,very tasty
  The basis is chicken strips rolled in peppered flour and covered in Japanese Panko breadcrumbs,not Bir but nevertheless a cracker.Got the recipe from the chef:30 mins prep,up to 1hour cooking,dependent on heat required.Will certainly give this one a go.

Cheers. Geoff

Just bought some very meaty belly draft slices from farm shop in Warwickshire,am looking to spice them up for tasty meal.Any ideas?

Cheers Geoffbrick

Relatives came down from across the border to see how their "wounded soldier" was getting on.

"How you fancy doing us a curry"Explained veg and high protein at present."well have some of that"
Did a mushroom and pea curry with samosa baked potato(Cantrells kitchen)

Put potatoes in the oven and proceeded with the curry.
In to the pan with cumin seeds,then garlic.Stirred adding chopped mushrooms some chopped ginger and a few chopped fresh green chillies,stirred for a while adding some garam masala.Put in two tbs of tomato puree and 3/4 pint chicken stock.Stirred and brought the boil,then simmered adding yogurt.Cooked gently,then served with potatoes.
Stuffed potatoes tasted good,the curry,talk about "quetta earthquake plus",pass the water,pass the beer.It was hot,did not taste as I normally do.The curry tasted good,just too hot,even for the rellies.They braved it saying get back to the meat".
  The moral,taste and taste again.
Happy curries Geoffbrick

Just back from major surgery on Friday 26th,had a Dilshad T/A which was lovely,but what I'm looking for is recommendations for curries to do,not too strenuous but protein filled.Have started with poha(thanks DP) my other half is great,but want to try and do them myself.Cheers Geoffbrick

Had a little time on my hands<thought Id try a couple of dishes with poha.All of a sudden theres none available,Asian stores and supermarkets etc.West Mids.Can get from Amazon only!!!Any ideas?

Cheers Geoffbrick

Just finished my Rogan Josh,and thought would finish my naan with a bit of lime pickle.Found it almost bitter,anyone else had a similar experience,or is it taste of team losing at Wembley.Got Rogan Josh right though.

Cheers Geoffbrick

Whilst browsing in localish meat,fish and veg supplier,came across Egyptian bay leaves,are they European or Asian,bought a largish packet,has anyone tried them ?

Geoffbrick

HI guys ,We're going down to the New Forest,closer to the sea,we're self catering, and last time we went,we found the takeaways were wanting. Have decided to go curries.First is Rick Steins coconut prawn curry,but would like suggestions,bearing we're self catering.I've got the job,cos she needs a break.

Cheers Geoffbrick.

Been foraging in the wilds of Warwickshire and collected a goodly bit of wild garlic.
Got home,washed it,used it in a Chicken Tikka salad with croutons and mayo,has anyone used it in a serious curry dish?Tasted ok with the salad.Perhaps it's good for arthritis!!!

Nature of my trade,meant that being outside,stretching in lousy weather,or nosebleeders in wet trenches.Hence rheumatism/arthritis,curries have got to be good for me,haven,t they?
I keep taking the painkillers,there,s no way I would give up curries(all these spices are no good for you)!!!
My older relatives love them so that,s good enough for me.I still want to be playing guitar(badly),that,s

something I,m not giving up,plus the odd wee dram and Guiness.I seriously reckon thats not a bad diet.


Geoff

Have tried the search box,to no avail,so can you advise the best base for Fridays fish curry.

RGeoffeading a typical Base recipe have come across All purpose seasoning.What constitutes All purpose?

Have posted this question on search,but Im sure you guys can come up with a simple recipe for the making of Peshwari naan that resembles and tastes like the local takeway.All the bought ones from supermarkets etc,look and taste. like cardboard .


cheers Geoff
