Scrumptious

[wayfaringwordhack]

A few months ago, mana_trini bought a beautifully made Indian cookbook, and I told him that he had to make one recipe from it per week for me. Guess how many times he's followed through on that one? o.O

Anyhow, I've been on an Indian food kick for the past week or so, and today I made naans and a Parsi dish called patra ni macchi, and oh. my. word. It was delicious. Just thinking about it as I type is making me salivate. And we have two portions waiting as leftovers. (Heaven!) I shall make it again soon and post the recipe because I can't find a similar one to link to on the net (don't want to do it now because it's in French and I don't feel like playing translator. Plus, you need pics because it's a pretty dish). For dessert, we had my Sin on a Plate, which I tweaked a bit from the first try. Equally scrumptious.

I have to get going with an exercise routine soon. Dance classes can't start soon enough to suit me.

Indian food.... Mmmm.....

A recipe would be most welcome. I can have a go, then. Another to add to my ever-increasing list of 'yummy things I have ruined' :D

I do have a list of 'yummy things even I can't ruin', but it's much shorter.

*lol*

What kinds of yummy things do you like, sweet, savoury, both? Maybe I could share some other easy recipes with you.

GOOD nans? You'll have to share the recipe, mine never turn out the same as the yummy ones I had in the excellent Indian restaurant in Switzerland, they always turn out same as the ones I have in the not-so-excellent restaurants.

I found the naans only ok, but it was my first time making them, and my recipe book does say that without the intense heat of the special oven they use to make them, the texture will vary. I still have dough that I froze, so I'm going to try a different thickness next time.

Sorry! I seem to have convinced myself that I'd responded to this, when I hadn't. The system is breaking down broken down!

Er - recipes. I like sweet and savoury, 'cos I'm greedy. Generally the ones that I don't ruin too much are either ridiculously quick and simple, or involve long, slow cooking that pretty much takes care of itself. Pastry I don't do. Not unless someone I know needs a new patio.

Having said that, I like to share recipes - even the ones I'm hopeless at! :D

OK, I'm going to get serious about posting some recipes. It's something I've been meaning to do for a while.
