I managed to get my jalepenos and haberneros and twilight chilis to germinate a week ago. they are small still but growing. my cayenne type are really quite big now. been using chili focus food on them once a week.

no updates?

I have the Shan Achar masala from my local asian grocer.

The spice mix gets put with lemon juice into sliced green chilis. I made it a few weeks ago - but I changed the recipe on the pack (also shown on that website) slightly to a more BIR style of cooking..... It was very pickly and very strong in fennel. Very aromatic.... a different taste.

I am going to attempt it again this week. I will post my results.

Coming on a little... My jalapenos and haberneros have germinated and sprouted now although I fear it is probably too late for a fruit this year.

Sowed.



2 days later

I use them in Pat Chapmans spice mix, and for Naan bread.

sorry to hear what you ordered was not upto much, but I am a believer that it is not up to the customer to decide what is on the menu. :p

soaked for 24 hours... then put on wet kitchen paper for 24 hours and in my boiler cupboard.

result... a LOT of germination.

update... some basil and some coriander in there as well.

had some sun yesterday and sun is out full today as well so they are looking more healthy and the leaves have fattened up a bit now.
