Notes about this book

    Vegetable pulao - Added a bit more veg. Spices a bit bland and rice was mushy. Probably way too much water, as by the time water had cooked off rice was too soft. Normally add 1 rice to 2 water. This worked out at 1 rice to over 3 water. Would do again but reduce rice to 1 cup and add 2 cups water. And add more garam masala and more salt.

    Made red lentil dal. Used red split lentils, as didn't have red lentils. Very runny so I added another 100g. 2tsp too much salt for me, reduced it to 1.5, but still quite salty for me.

      So flavourful. Runnier than expected

  • Potato and pea samosas

    • Jb_ on October 24, 2021

      Made with filo pastry and a quarter of the chilli. Very tasty

  • Samosa chaat

    • Jb_ on October 24, 2021

      Worth the effort. Made for my partner and a friend and they raved about it. Made the samosas with filo and gave 2 each. Chickpeas and potato combo fed 3. Not sure how this would serve 10. Tamarind chutney runnier than expected but incredibly tasty. Added 1/4 of the green chillis suggested because we don't like it too spicy
