THIS REVIEW WAS DELETED BY THE CIAO TEAM BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE WRONG CATEGORY. THANKS FOR RATING AGAIN! If your tongue starts watering on mentioning Indian cuisine, then its time you start learning the art of it. You may be familiar with this extensive cuisine and now should know that it's the wide range of masalas (spices) used in cooking, which makes it oh-so yummy. At some point of time while cooking Indian food, we come across Garam Masala, which is a brown powdery ingredient, which brings spark to any Indian dish. It's readily available in super markets and grocery stores in the Asian ... more

Recently I had made some Chicken and Pineapple kebabs for tea and was left with 1/2 a tin of pineapple rings in the fridge. The following day I was thinking what to do for tea using the Pineapple rings and as it was Saturday, it is normally curry night in the Paulpry cottage.

I gave it a go and served it up to my husband without telling him what it was it it tasted ... more

I'm posting this in curries as if you can rustle up a curry these naan are THE most excellent I have ever tasted. Besides it would be rude to have a home made curry without naan! I came across this recipe one day when I'd planned to make curry (patak's paste) and found out I had run out of rice. I was having "one of those days" and it actually proved easier to have a quick google and bung the ingredients in the breadmaker than drag two kids to the supermarket. I am no domestic goddess really - the recipe is really not that hard. I have adapted a recipe that I found on allrecipes.com Here is ... more

I love experimenting with my cooking and usually cook from scratch. This means that whatever I have in the cupboard gets chucked in a pan and if the results are good I will make that dish again. If not then I know that I will not then I won't bother with that combination again. For example tinned hot dog sausage and cheese risotto is heaven, but olive, salami and egg quiche is not that nice! Using the "chuck it in and see method" was how I discovered what has become my very favorite curry ever. I have repeated this recipe on many occasion now and it is well tried and tested. Therefore I ... more
