Very nice recipes Mike ! ;)
I'll try it with different qualities of yogurt, to see how it comes out.
Cut tomatoes and onion into 1/4 inch (5mm) dice and put them in a non metalic serving bowl. Add the other ingredients and mix. Although its called a 'relish', you should have what looks like a chunky salsa!
- 1/2lb (225g) Tomatoes
- 3oz (75g) Onion, peeled
- 4 heaped tablespoons of chopped fresh coriander
- 1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper/chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon roasted and ground cumin seeds
Cachumber. Done!
Agreed, if for use in cooking you always need to thoroughly beat yogurt to prevent curdling. A word of warning if using supermarket own brand set or 'Greek Style' yogurt, check the contents for the sugar levels some of them have 35g in 500ml, that is almost as much as a can of Coke:mental:.
I usually use a Greek "strained" yogurt for cooking.
If I can't get a strained one, then I strain (leave on a towel for about half an hour, tightly hung above a pan) the Greek yogurt bought.
Chinese spicy soup for 2.
Broth:
- 1 litre stock (chicken or veg)
- 1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled & thinly sliced into sticks
- 1 red chilli, sliced (seeds in or out, how big a girl are you?)
- 1 dessertspoon soy sauce.
Bung broth ingredients into a pan, bring up to the boil, turn off the heat & leave to infuse while you chop the other stuff.
This is where I look to see what I've got in the fridge. I usually add...
- 2 spring onions, chopped
- 2 baby sweetcorn, chopped
- 2 green beans, chopped
- some red or green pepper, diced
- 6 chinese dumplings.
Bring back up to the boil & simmer for 8 mins to cook the dumplings. At the last minute, bung in some chopped coriander.
Optional:-
Chuck some beansprouts/chopped pak choi/cooked noodles/sliced tofu into a bowl and ladle the hot broth on top.
Hope you enjoy!

Sorted, Ta! :)
Can I add more chili though? :eyebrows:
Mike, you can add as much chilli as you like.
I just thought some of the 'girls' on here might be light-weight in the chilli department!:)

Beef Wellington anyone?
