Re: Friday From The Freezer
Those keema patties look the biz. Nice one.
Re: Samosa
I don't think that recipes are under copyright, and reproducing a single recipe on a forum like this would anyway fall under 'fair use'. If you photocopied the book or posted recipes and the blurb that goes with them in the same order as in the book, you'd be on thin ground, but retyping a single re...

Re: Fresh Methi
By the way it grows like weeds. Just rake some methi seed into a spare corner of your garden and you will be richly rewarded. I agree that the dried herb is easier to cook with: fresh methi is quite bitter, and this is not a taste that suits every palate. However, we do a sag methi wallah variant of...

Fresh methi
We used to cook fresh methi when we lived in London. It was bought by the bunch and it tended to be quite unremarkable - like spinach. But recently we have been growing it in our polytunnel and it is quite a revelation. Grown fast and picked young, it has a peppery and quite bitter quality about it....

Re: British Indian Vindaloo with no base gravy
Looks good. No reason why you can't make a good curry without gravy. It's not exactly a mystery what's in the gravy anyhow, so there must be other ways of arriving at the same destination.

Re: Issue 3 - Spring 2017
Great edition - thanks for all the hard work that has clearly gone into this. And thanks to those who have secured the featured discounts - that is a fantastic benefit that could repay any membership costs/donations in a single trip. Much appreciated.

Re: Freezing fenugreek leaves
Hi mg99, Dried methi (fenugreek) is generally used differently to fresh. It's best to treat the fresh or frozen stuff like spinach. The leaves and stems are often wilted in dishes like aloo methi, although use of the fresh leaves is more common in home cooking than BIR. The dried leaves have a much ...

Re: New Years Eve feast
Looks great. I also suffer from peshwari naan inflation, but I don't prick them - they go down on their own.
Sorry if that all sounds like it should be on one of those medical forums

Re: Cure for the common cold
Just a variation on the chicken soup remedy, which has been proved again and again to work. And you can make several portions for the price of a packet of DayNurse (which hasn't).

Re: Issue 1 - November 2016
Nicely laid out. One of the links is to a humungous thread where not everyone has good things to say about each other, but I guess that's a true reflection of the site - plenty of lively debate rather than just a load of recipes.
Good work. I look forward to the next one.

Re: Lemon Jeera Chicken
Yup - just green bird eye chillis. It's a very nicely balanced dish, with the dark cumin flavours, the sharpness of the lemon, the chilli heat and the umami from the chicken. I can't really take credit for it but it's a real favourite from our kitchen. Feel free to remove it from the thread I origin...

That looks really good - excellent idea. We cook curry for some veggie friends and I might try a paneer chansak on them.

Re: TikkaTom's Chicken Tawa
That looks really good.
I'm confused by what 'tawa' means on a menu. The tawa is a flat pan, but no way is a nice rich sauce like that cooked in a flat pan. Can anyone help explain?

Re: Fenugreek seed vs leaf
We have grown methi. It's very easy - easier than coriander. We have a couple of home recipes such as methi saag-wallah which use the fresh leaves, but we never put them on our menu as fresh methi is used much like spinach: it's a bulk ingredient that we can't buy here in France, and I'm not interes...
