@Giles:

Mother Butter Chicken - again…...

Do you have a butter chicken recipe you recommend? Or any specific types/brands of curry or spices and whatnot?

[ROman]

@ROman Funny, I was thinking about you the other day.  I have not seen a post from you in a while and was hoping all was well.  Good to see you around!!

.    I had been having the exact same thoughts recently. Glad to hear from you.

As mentioned before, it has been a disappointing year for chilli ripening, so I cropped most of the remainder we had on plants.  In the warming drawer drying out, so I can make into powder later…

[Giles]

Roast chicken Sunday, chicken stock yesterday, egg drop soup for lunch today…..

[Giles]

I don't normally do fish fingers, but if I did, they'd probably be the best fish fingers in the world…..

Bonus points for telling me who coined this construction.....

Pickled onions are my fuckin jam.

My first thought for your small but colorful pepper bounty was to pickle them, but you are well versed in the art of brining.

How did your preserved lemons turn out?

[Giles]

Preserved lemons are great thanks, but I just have not got int the habit of using them regularly enough…..

Im sure I've seen or read this week about a chef using fish fingers in a dish but cant remember and the only chef I remember seeing on the Tv this week was Nigella (don't know how I remember that)…...so Nigella?

[Giles]

Yep, Nigella…...

I liked the look of her banana skin curry aswell.

My wife has been on a "bowl" kick lately. We shoot for healthy, but i have to add my own twist sometimes.
Braised red Cabbage
Wood fired Cauliflower
Wild Rice Brats (from a local famer near us. incredibly good quality but equally as expensive)
Whole Grain mustard yogurt sauce
soft boiled egg
Pickled Jalapenos from our garden
Fresh Cilantro

[Giles]

GOD, that looks good…....And GOD was the polite version....

[jordanscollected]

thanks Giles, it was really good. Plain Greek Yogurt makes such a nice sauce base we have all but eliminated our use of Mayo.

Sause & pasta.

[Giles]

Curry-fest at chez Padmore….

[jordanscollected]

all those curries look great @Giles. Do you stove top your rice or do you use a rice cooker?

My electric stove (i will have gas in our next house; for the stove top too) sucks for cooking rice so I often use the rice cooker for basmati and I also buy my Ghee. Aldi has Ghee for pretty cheap and it makes a world of difference.

What's a rice cooker :-\ :-X?

FFS, it's rice.  You boil it until it's nearly done, then you hold it.

It took me 35 years to cook rice well, but now it's a cinch….
