An interesting read about types of chillies ,
make you own chilli powder from a selection of chillies.

Not Indian cooking, just chillis etc

For the hard core chilli lovers only, as most won't have the chillies anyway
but you could always grow them:-) I think!

anyway its hear if you want to read it, this just touches
on the subject.

cheers, Graeme

graeme.

Also has anyone also noticed Keith Floyd never does rice or breads?

He never even apologizes for the fact this food is missing
from his show,?do you think he simply does not like doing it
or don't they cook rice and bake bread in India ?

I always enjoyed his television shows but this one?
about cooking around India is more than a little
repetitive. I recorded the whole lot a few month ago
and noticed a pattern of some of this, and a little bit of that etc
going on.

I have never seen him make the garlic and ginger paste,
rice, breads, starters, deserts and side dishes (relish etc)
this would have made the show better by far.

If I am wrong sorry have I missed it, did i blink.

Please don't flame me!

It's simply something I have noticed, after all it is a cookery program
and would like to ask what others think.

I still like Keith Floyd for showing us diffrent kitchens etc
just, why is the above missing from the show.

If I am wrong please delete this post asap,
and sorry for me making a complete fool of myself.

cheers, Graeme.

(just seen the positive post on floyd below, sorry. I'm in for it now)

Hi,

We get Onion Relish with Popadomes,
one of my books say it's...

onion (surprise)
green chilli
mint
coriander leaves
salt
lemon juice

simple but fantastic!

ISBN 1-85813-130-8 Parragon.
The recipes are by Mridula Baljekar.
Coombe books for Parragon published 1995.

This was a low cost book but and it works for me
and gives good results for very little time, or outley.

just found this  http://www.mridula.co.uk/

At last I have posted some thing usefull.

Grow you own:-))

As an after thought why not ask if any one is willing to supply.

I use Jaggery.

Jaggery with Tamarind gives sweet and sour like Patia

It looks like a brown golf ball, pkt of about 4-5
only ever seen it in asian outlets.

Me still here.

Hi all,

I ended my posts a few years ago like this...

graeme (of I can't make a good curry, i give up fame, etc...)

this last bit refered to a post I once made about how i had tryed and in
my opinion failed.

Its still true I guess :-)

Just like to add...
the tikka jalfrezi up here is like a thick
sludge of peppers, onions and full of flavour.

Most times it has a sour tang which i love
but I dont know what it is, it's not like lemon etc
has a earthy, smokie taste to it.

Not to be confused in any way
with the red tom sauce type thing.

whats yours like?
