Only did the bbq pork and the Chinese curry recipes from it the other day for Chinese New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Sounds an interesting book, I’ll check it out. If it’s as good as the curry guy bible then it’ll be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I picked some interesting sauce last week from Aldi. It’s mango and mint, basically a green mango chutney with mint and habanero pepper. It’s hot but sweet, and goes well on a chicken and spinach wrap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads and loads of recipes from the usual favourites to the more adventurous dishes..........once i could be bothered to prep that base sauce then i was sorted - there's even parts in the book where they tell you how to blend spices & pastes too. If you like your curries, then give this book the time it deserves 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Cooking some polenta at the moment. The package says I can either cook it on low heat for 5-6 hours or on high for 90 minutes. Not sure what the difference might be, but I've opted for the long haul. I'm going to mix in some grated Parmesan and chopped cilantro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does contain less sodium than soy sauce, so better for people with high blood pressure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If on the very rare occasion I actually have a Chinese takeaway I always wake up in the middle on the night with a mouth like the Gobi desert. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look for it today but didn't find it apart from the (apparently) usual mango chutney. Do you have a pic or name/brand for it please ?

Worth it I'm getting close to a year with no McDonald's, I only do the specials menu now and to be honest more than anything McDonald's is boring, so is KFC most of the time Burgers are my take away of choice, done most of the independent ones by me with a varying degree of success, not a massive take away eater but Febs been a bad month with he wife's birthday, think today was my 3rd or 4th, none in Jan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
