Do you mean Kashmiri Pulao? I like it, but without any fruit.
In general North Indian curries are much milder and less 'fiery' than their southern counterparts. Much more to my taste. :)

Yes, Kashmiri pulao, without fruit. Lots of ingredients in this curry, which all combined beautifully. Not too hot unless you ate a fresh chilli! Largely sweet and sour flavours:)
Marco.
Looks good Roy.
Yeah... Oi loikes a bit of brisket:)
Marco.
Salmon with freshly made ratatouille and mayonnaise. Didn't realise mayo is so easy to make at home, just blend an egg and some oil basically.

That looks top notch, Mike!:thumbsup:
Marco.
Just some pasta for lunch... Rigatoni al pomodoro, with some fresh basil:

Marco.
Looks good Marco, but I prefer penne over rigatoni. ;)
Lol yes, I also like penne and we use them often, amongst many other varieties of pasta - some quite unusual shapes among them:)
Marco.
Btw, these are the best Penne, available in Sainsbury's:

Thicker pasta, so it holds it's shape more during cooking.
Marco.
Thanks Marco. I always cook pasta al dente so it keeps its flavour and shape.
Indeed. Al dente is the only way that pasta should ever be! However, the De Cecco stuff gives best results:)
Marco.
Some spicy chicken wings tonight (Chinese salt & pepper)...

THanks, quite an easy dish, only being fried veg and tomato sauce, and once the mayo is made it keeps for days, or may be weeks?Quote:

Tonight's tea... Southern fried chicken (Del's 'KFC') with corn ribs:

Washed down with some ginger beer!:)
Marco.
It's been too hot here for anything but a salad. Thus:
It doesn't have a name, so how about a Caesaromagus salad? :lol:
Watermelon for dessert, and all washed down with a Gallo White Zinfandel rosé.
How hot was it, Barry? Here it got up to 25C, which for me was fine for hot food:)
Marco.
28oC; even Happy found it too hot today. Anyway we both love salads.
We do too, but variety is the spice of life... Just watch you don't turn into a rabbit:D
Marco.
Tonight's tea... Sweet & sour chicken Hong Kong style with Jasmine rice:

Good to see the use of chopsticks. Well done.
Cheers, matey - all part of the enjoyment:)
What have you enjoyed today?
Marco.
:popcorn:
Marco.
Baked potato filled with tuna mayonnaise with a salad. Watermelon for dessert.
Cool:cool:

Chicken at The Peterboat in Leigh on sea

Some good wholesome grub there, Roy - and the salad's bigger than your chips!:)
Marco.
Tonight's scran... Some lamb cutlets, from our local butcher, with roast potatoes and seasonal veg:

Marco.
Only about 20 miles from Roy's lunch venue, our lunch was in Maldon, at the the Continental Café (https://continentalcafe.co.uk)
Salmon, prawn and avocado salad, with balsamic dressing.
(Not a very good photo but it was delicious. The Continental Café is our favourite eatery when we are shopping in Maldon.)
Nice... I'd have had the Locally sourced salmon and prawn with mixed leaves and a lemon and dill mayonnaise:)
What did you think of my cutlets - I know you like plenty of veg? :cool:
Marco.
It's 25°C outside, so time for some lunch, al fresco... Wiltshire ham and cheese salad with charcouterie and mixed leaves:
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/DDlgZ2.jpg
Marco.
Oh yes - right up my street. The charcouterie looks perfect; very much to my taste. :)Quote:

Hope you had a nice time in the pub.

Steak night tonight... Peppered sirloin with tempura-fried cauliflower, vegetable kebab and chips:
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/JJ9k3a.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/7hdUYU.jpg
Marco.
I like the look of the tempura fried cauliflower. I like cauliflower, but Happy does not.
Anyway it's still hot enough here to continue to enjoy salads, so:
Hard-boiled egg and fresh water prawns on a bed of rocket and shredded cos lettuce, beetroot, pearl tomatoes, red capsicum, with a balsamic dressing.
Watermelon for dessert, and all washed down with a glass or two of 2024 Gallo, White Grenache, rosé.
I don't often come across a salad where I don't have to remove some items, as I'm very picky when it comes to "cold" foods. But you've managed it there Barry. Just perfect :)Quote:

Yes, the tempura cauliflower was a goodie!
Piggurs, you need to get some pics of either your or Anita's creations on here:exactly:
Marco.
Yeah well, I'm hoping to get a "Posting pics for dummies" tutorial off Macca in the near future. He doesn't know this yet ;)Quote:

Yes, but they were not the pics that would be acceptable on a family-friendly forum that is AoS, so were automatically deleted. :lol:
Ah, was it those ones of his favourite 'hobby'?:eyebrows:
Marco.
Just as well really, X-Hamster's membership was dropping off a cliff. Got to give others a chance.Quote:

(BTW our fridge is now working again - somehow the thermostat dial got knocked to "1", the lowest level of refrigeration. :doh: )
What make is the fridge?
Marco.
Tonight's tea... Poached salmon fillets with a garlic and herb butter, Jersey Royals, pea shoots and baby carrots:

Electra. It was bought some forty-five years ago. I think electrical appliances bearing this name were made in the mid '70s for the local electricity suppliers: in this case The Eastern Electricity Board.Quote:

Not heard if it, but they definitely don't make things like they used to!
Did you like the look of my salmon dish?:)
