I sow mine into a take away container with a few holes in the lid, about an inch of soil then a fine layer soil on top of seeds. Put the takeaway container into heated prop.
Once the seeds pop they need light otherwise they become too leggy. Once they get the first set of true leaves I transfer to 7cm pots.

Me and the Mrs tried out a Restaurant we hadnt been to before, a small family run Bangladeshi one, Ruby Spice.
The staff were excellent and friendly, food was really delicious, one of the best Ive had.
We had onion bhaji, seekh kebab for starters, both very very nice indeed.

For mains we had-

Sahi Royal Jalfrezi - "Cooked in a clay oven in a thick tangy sauce cooked with a handful of fresh green chillies, lemon juice & capsicum"

Bangalore Jalfrezi - "Sliced chicken breast cooked with mince meat, fresh garlic, ginger, pepper, green chillies & egg"

Excellent curries, cant wait to try others from here now.

Anyway I got talking to one of the family that run it, had a good chat, he was interested in my curry cooking and chilli knowledge, and we exchanged facebook details, got to see the chefs cooking for 5 minutes, all done on very high heat/flame, it was a very enjoyable night.

Who knows might get to see them cooking some more, see what happens.

Welcome X, youve come to the right place, a few on here can help you burn water  ;D

Cheeky little Bhuna Madras for my tea last night

Top naan looks spot on 

I find it exciting waiting for your seeds to show, also quite addictive sowing seeds

Glad you enjoyed it too naga, had it twice now, both excellent.

Thats it , cheers ch, all I want for the rest of the day is curry !
They both look delicious, is a recipe anywhere for the Elaichi madras?

Maybe they should be posted in the pictures section rather than getting lost in this thread?

Battenburg exchange?  ;D
