Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[Giles]

Last night:

Egg Curry
Lamb Dopiaza
Beef Madras
Scorching Chicken
Bengali Cholar Dal
Maldiivian Ultra Hot Chili Relish - made for me and smuggled out of the restaurant kitchen by a Maldivian waiter who appreciated that I liked all things hot and spicy….

This morning, breakfast of champions, left over egg curry…

[rocket]

brilliant…

Need curry. Now. Did you make this from scratch? Might need the egg curry recipe too.

[Giles]

All from scratch.  The egg curry was a bit made up, I decided (well, P demanded) to make the egg curry after I had done the shopping, so I had to go with what I had….This is the recipe I bastardised....

[neph93]

Lovely stuff. Thank you. I’ll look at at making that one night this week.

@neph93 This is the Bengali Cholar Dal….Alex cooked it recently and it was a step up from your average Tarka Dhal, so I thought I would give is a go...

Thanks again. When I taught myself to cook aged 18, I was vegetarian (ugh) and dals from scratch were one of the first things I learnt. Afterwards I learnt a load of Indian dishes, including chutnies and pickles. They’ve all fallen out of rotation over the years as I taught myself other styles and cuisines. I’m now inspired to make a comeback.

She has about 15 dals on there, and for a midweek recipe there is not a lot better in terms of ease:price:nutrition:taste

[Giles]

Do.  There are so many types….........

[neph93]

King prawns in a Delhi style sauce. Pretty darn good…

[Giles]

Now, I'm hungry 

[neph93]

It’s a really tasty sauce. Ended up a bit salty because I didn’t adjust to accomodate the prawns but fekk it.
