Not something I have ever attempted but veg recipes of India has a number of variants on their website.

Hi Rajesh and welcome.

If you are opening your own restaurant maybe we should be picking up recipes from you?

It may also be worth your while trawling looking through some of the recent critiques of modern Indian restaurants to see what turns folk off.

Best of luck with your venture.

Hi all - I will be back in the UK after many years away and am looking forward to enjoying good, old school British curries. From what I can gather the standard seems to be dropping, so I am reaching out to members to give me some recommendations.

If you are in London look out for Lahore kebab house off Commercial Road, Tayyabs in Fielding Street used to be a banker but though a little disappointing last time would still be worth a visit, both of these started out serving traditional food to the local Asian community. Cinnamon Kitchen close to Liverpool Street and Cafe Spice Namaste are two of the more high end restaurants in the City/East End, whilst La Porte Des Indes close to Marble Arch is another one that may cause your wallet to take a hit. Aladdin in Brick Lane is purported to be very good by my work colleagues but I have not visited so cannot confirm.

Our little town used to have a few independent butchers and greengrocers etc. But when Tesco and Safeway arrived some years back those little shops were pushed out of business. My wife and I have always shopped on the basis that if you don't use it you lose it but unfortunately most people deserted to the two big chains and our independents gave up the ghost and closed down. Imagine my frustration on Saturday when we agreed on Ratatouille as our veg for the night only to find neither of the big grocers had either aubergine or courgette stocked. We had to travel 10 miles the next day to Sainsbury's at Chelmsford to find what we had wanted the night before. And it all used to be on our doorstep. So sad!

My buddy is on a Goose shoot tomorrow and has promised me some of the spoils.

Also I have seen on here everyone looking for a naan cushion,well this is ideal https://kslbuyonline.co.uk/product/tandoor-gaddi/
Hope this helps ?

I can't say that I have ever had the urge to buy a naan cushion, so I must be the odd one out.

Thanks for that, I will download and watch on sky catch-up or whatever it is called.

Phil, I would appreciate your recipe for Pheasant. It is the last shoot of the season this coming Saturday so I hope to be bringing a brace home. Another good recipe for Pheasant never goes amiss.

Mrs. T63 makes excellent dumplings, light and airy.
Mine end up all over my fingers, down my shirt and up my sleeves.
I will never make a dumpling again.

My 84 year old Muvver came to stay over Xmas after having a knee replacement in late December. We have a bedroom and loo on the ground floor so she didn't have to worry about the stairs during the recovery period; knees can be very painful. Muvver doesn't do "foreign food". Muvver doesn't do garlic. Muvver does do English food so for the fortnight she was here it was, foodwise, like being transported back to Bermondsey in the 60's and 70's. This hairy bikers adapted version of mince and dumplings stirred old memories, sadly though I couldn't recall Muvvers original recipe that used large tins of Heinz vegetable soup and oxo cubes.

My wife made the Dumplings using her own recipe but I have given the hairy geezers version as Dumplings seem to be a lost art these days.

For the mince
2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 celery sticks, peeled, finely sliced
2 medium carrots, diced
500g/1lb 2oz lean beef mince
1 x 400g/14oz can chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato pur
