With chopped onions in mint sauce, yummy

I buy uncooked poppadoms. They come in all sorts of styles. Currently I have black pepper and chilly

They store for ever and take seconds to cook in the microwave, under the grill or deep fried.

Always fresh and crunchy on demand.

In the indian shops they are about 80 pence for a packet of 25

In 1960 I was working in a ship repair yard on Tyneside. The crew were Indian from the Bombay states. When I was doing a job in the middle of winter in the galley, one of the cooks asked me if I wanted a curry and chapatti. He also gave me a cup of tea, It was the best curry I've ever had like so for the tea which he sweetened with Nestles milk.

I know it's a long time ago it would be nice if you could have remembered the recipe how he did it, id love, to have a go making one

 

[MBB]

Maybe but it didn't come in a packet but in a huge hessian sack.

I dont know how he made the curry but I remember him grinding raw onions between two stones to make a paste as the base of his cooking.

Yep, very traditional method. The theory is that grinding anything between stones keeps things cool whereas a electric blitzer introduces heat

This is what I’ve just made

diced carrots?

Tonight’s dinner, the beans I made earlier with rice, mint n onion pickle

For Tommorow nights home made pizza, Lebanese flat bread dough, done with a sourdough starter. This is a lock down favourite. Only thing I’ve done twice in the last 3 weeks

Then I’m getting brave, sourdough bread doing for Saturday. With Parmesan, olives, onions, sun dried tomatoes, onions and chilly

Thanks to @mtt.tr for introducing me to the world of sourdough. Why did I not know about this sooner

My wife has the starter in the fridge for sourdough, it's been going for 8 years now. This is the loaf from last week. The starter is used in oatcakes, scones, naans and lots of other projects.

quick question for swmbo . Sourdough starters I read about say something like , do this, do that, Then Dispose of half the mixture ? Is that correct ? Seems a waste.
So advise please on what to do. Thank you in advance.
