Hi Pam22. Please would you be able to post recipe for your Badami-gosht? I would love to give it a try. Thank you. Best wishes. Marie

Yep! Sure did mean those out of a tin!!! It sounds weird but is lovely. She has many quick, inventive Indian with British influence recipes in her book. Well worth purchasing. Yummy! I too adore lamb rogan josh. I also love a dupiaza....all those beautiful onions!!!

I have been cooking Indian food now for 32 years and am still experimenting. The best one i ever cooked was for theQueens Jubilee in 1977 i cooked it the night before and it went down a treat with the neighbours it was a Badami-Gosht i cooked that dish for years after and we loved it but then stoped cooking it and only just cooked it again recently and i did not like it i think my taste must have changed with old age i think it was the coconut i did not like. I also like egg curry but my 2 favourites are Lamb Rogan Josh and chickpea,spinach and mushroom Korma. When you said baked beans you did not mean those out of tin in tom sauce did you?

Hi Pam22! Didn't mean Indian was my fave food to cook, though I do enjoy cooking it, but that it's always been my number one restaurant choice. Began cooking Indian food when I was a student nurse in '73. There were lots of Mauritian guys in the nurses home, & I picked up so many tips from them. It's when I first learned how to cook a proper curry. They were good teachers. Have I a favourite to cook? Well, I like the easy, another-week-to-pay-day-& almost-broke simple egg curry & pilchard curry I've often had to cook to keep the wolf from the door!! And the other evening I presented a chicken tikka masala that went down well. I also enjoy baked bean balti from Manju Malhi's book, 'Brit Spice'!! I cooked it first several months ago & really enjoyed it: anything with baked beans!! And my fave accompaniment, shown me by my Mauritian pals, is simply an onion cut into very thin rings, tomatoes also sliced thinly, add salt & work gently with your fingers & leave for at least half an hour. Simply delicious! I must admit though that I don't cook as much Indian food as I could, but Steve is absolutely brilliant at this quisine
& he really enjoys cooking it, so I often leave it to him. Have you got fave Indian dishes you like to cook?

Keith you say Indian food is your fav food to cook what is your very fav , and how long have you been cooking it?

The double chocolate ones are my favourite along with the caramel ones, they also do them in Sainsburys but I don't know about the rest.

Yep, yummy

Almost forgot: another thing I found in Safeway was Ainsley Harriot's Chocolate Heaven Bars. They're made with 'real Belgium chocolate', cost 99p for 9 bars, & are rather delicious. Anyone else tried them?
