Just back from major surgery on Friday 26th,had a Dilshad T/A which was lovely,but what I'm looking for is recommendations for curries to do,not too strenuous but protein filled.Have started with poha(thanks DP) my other half is great,but want to try and do them myself.Cheers Geoffbrick

Continuing the thread  Bob and Mike,have tried baking Sheermal(milk bread)?I haven't tried it,but it looks interesting.
Recipe:450g plain flour.
1tsp baking powder
1tsp salt
1tbsp sugar
175g,ghee or unsalted butter melted
100ml single cream
200ml warm milk
1tsp saffron strands,pounded
1 tbsp shahi jeera(royal cumin)
Ex flour for dusting

Method

Put flour,baking powder,salt and sugar into a large mixing bowl and mix well,add half the melted ghee or butter and work in.Work in the cream.Reserve 4tbsp of the milk.Add remainder of flour knead until dough is formed.
Transfer dough to board and add remaining melted fat,knead until smooth and soft and does not stick to board.
Cover dough with damp cloth and set aside for 30mins.Meanwhile preheat oven to 220Deg c(gas Mark7.bring reserved milk to boil add saffron strands,stir well and set aside.Line baking tray with hardworking paper.

Divide dough in half and make four balls out of each half.Flatten cake to a round cake,dust and rollout to a disc about 8ins in diameter.Lifting baking tray,brush with saffron milk and sprinkle with the shahee jeera.Bake in top of the oven for 7-8 mins.

Hope this makes sense to you.They look golden and very moreish,usually eaten with chicken dishes  Geoffbrick

Thanks Mike,will give them a go.Yes am in Stourbridge,just down from Lye.Might take some lessons in Punjabi.

Cheers Geoff

Bob&Mike,correction to my last post to your breads.Am still trying to perfect my naans.(predictive text I guess came out as bananas.
Happy baking and curries  Geoffbrick

Bob&Mike,

Youve both put me to shame,I'm still trying to perfect my banana,they're not consistent.
Mike,I used to use the bakery in Catshill,but haven't been for a while.I'm going to give your recipes a go.

Cheers Geoffbrick

Hi Razor,
   Had a home made Rogan Josh last weekend,with added yoghurt etc,it tasted ok particularly with a few barleypops.
   However looking at your recipe and presentation,am certainly giving it a go,cracker,more power to your elbow.  Geoffbrick

Cheers Bob,

  Note your comments re the lime pickle,so wanted to like it(Pataks),but oh so bitter,wonder if eaten with warm peshwari naan may help.Note from other posts at various times that others absolutely love it??!!!
