I think Mexican food is to the US as Pakistani food is to the UK.)

Well, I do have fond memories of a "Burrito Supreme" in that country just to the north of yours; I even had a few goes at making them when I got home, but never really managed to re-create the authentic CMR taste

... and the ball went out of the compound.

"Went out of the compound", Madam ?  Do you mean "cleared the boundary" ?  If you're going to play the noble sport of cricket, you really will have to learn the proper terminology.  I suppose you'll be telling us next that they served hamburgers and Budweiser instead of cucumber sandwiches and tea during the interval.

Tut tut, what ever is the world coming to ?!

Oi!! We don't sound as funny as Mancs,  Laar

Her Gracious Majesty is the only person who still speaks properly in this country; even her grandchildren sound as if they attended finishing school in Sarfend rather than Montreux, more's the pity 

Ah.  (Where is the "realisation dawns" emoticon when you need one ?!).

Method:

- Mix by hand
- Add a little oil
- Gently mix again
- Marinate for 4 hours in the fridge

PP, in the "mix by hand" and "gently mix again" stages, are we meant to be "mixing" the chicken as well as the other ingredients, or does the chicken get added only at the "marinade" stage ?

I hate to be less than helpful, but do you not think it might be worth borrowing a set of scales, just so that you can do your own weight-to-volume conversions once and for all ?  You could then set aside large marked bowls, each calibrated for a different ingredient, and then just fill the relevant one up to the appropriate level whenever you needed that quantity of whatever in the future ...

do they use bunjarra - without the "pre cooked onion" title - what you describe would almost fit with the bunjarra end point.

This is really a "plea to administrators", but it needs to start here to place it in context.  If we do a "Search in topic subjects only" for "bunjarra", no hits are returned but instead we are told "You may have meant to search for bunkers."  By trial-and-error I found it was indexed under "bunjara" : is it possible for the administrators to get in and tweak the heuristics so that the search engine offers alternatives that are frequent in the corpus rather than simply being frequent in the wild ?

No, I think it's in the right place?  Cant see where else it would fit

Not under "Hints, Tips, Methods and so on.. ", Ray ?  It's pretty clearly a "method", as far as I can see ...

Thanks, Ray : I don't think I'd have found that in a million years.  CA, do you have any recollection as to how it ended up under "#  Supplementary Recipes (Curry Powders, Curry Paste, Restaurant Spice Mixes) > # Supplementary Recipes (Spice Mixes, Masalas, Pastes, Oils, Stocks, etc) "  -- the note says you moved it there !
