Re: A quick Dhal

Yes, my simple Dhal, any of the bits in there will be the Panch Phoran or finely chopped coriander from the freezer - which makes it darken. Very difficult to source fresh coriander here so when I can I buy a kilogram or so and freeze it.

Re: Pilau rice

Yes, the orange (supposed to be yellow) grains were stained separately and then added back, I don’t like to see that bleeding of colour so I do it this way - marginally more work but looks better.
Essentially, it’s the simple pilau from the beginners section just a different colouring technique.

Re: Pilau rice

I have a couple of old 20kg bags - they’re maybe 3-4 years old. The one I’m using at the moment is fine.
In what way did you think the new stuff isn’t too clever ? ... it’s about the only rice I use so I hope they haven’t changed anything

Served with a saffron pilau that I (and my wife) l...
