Posting this here, just to keep Geoff happy (although it has dairy in it, so he can't actually eat it...)
Naan breads I make 4 large naans with this - you could easily get 6 smaller ones from it Preparation time - about 5 minutes Sitting around time - about 2 hours Cooking time - up to 12 mins for 4, 18 mins for 6 Ingredients 450g plain white flour Just under 2 tsp dried yeast - a bit less if the kitchen is very warm 60 ml hand warm water 1/4 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt Plain yoghurt 2 tablespoon oil (just plain sunflower or similar, not olive oil or flavoured...) 1-2 tsp dried coriander leaf (cilantro), or more 1-2 tsp chopped garlic (I use Lazy Garlic), or more Method Half hour before mixing the dough add the coriander leaf and garlic to the oil, and leave to sit at room temperature. Put the warm water into a small bowl and dissolve the sugar in it. Add the yeast, and stir. Weight the flour and put flour and salt into a mixing bowl Add yeasty water and stir in Stir in oil with coriander and garlic Add enough yoghurt to make a slightly sticky dough Knead until nice and elsatic (I use my food mixer for this - which takes about 3 mins, then finish it by hand) Put in a warm bowl at least twice the height of the dough, cover bowl wth clingfilm or polythene bag, and leave to rise for 1 - 1 1/2 hours or so - it should be about double at the end of it. Once risen, heat flat griddle until hot - if it's not non-stick, lightly oil it first. If it is, don't. Also turn grill on high and put a grill pan near the heat (if you don't have a grill, or it's being used for something else, you can cook both sides in the griddle - it just takes longer) Whilst everything is heating up, break the dough into 4-6 balls. Cover one ball lightly with flour and roll/press out into a circle-ish of the size you want the naan Put naan on griddle and cook for 2 minutes, or until it starts puffing Transfer to grill pan to cook the top - this takes about 1 minute. Alternatively, flip it over and cook for another minute on the griddle Once cooked, place on plate and cover with clean cloth Repeat - if you use the griddle & grill method you can start the next naan cooking whilst the previous one is under the grill, which saves a bit of time |

Lovely! To go with, anyone have any really good recipes for dal makhani or saag paneer or chicken tikka masala? If so, I'll be right over.

Bake about an hour, until it is a little brown on top and pulls away from the edges of the dish a little It will be very moist but will firm up a bit as it cools. |

We should seriously collect some of these and make a MobileRead cookbook.

I managed a rather nice sort-of tikka masala taste with the sauce on the veggie curry, quite unintentionally - although without the smoked tandoor flavour. The dal I need was closer to a tadka dal, but without tomatoes

Having read the description of the pott noodle, then it is simply chilie con frijoles as chile con carne requires meat.

Two of my quick'n'easy pasta recipes.
Ea's ravioli with shrimps and spinach 1 person preparation time: 10-15 min. all included Ingredients: 125 g fresh ravioli with cheese filling 100 g shrimps - small or large as you prefer 100 g spinach, preferably whole leaves, cut roughly Garlic. Either a dash or two of dried, crushed garlic, or, if fresh, 1/2 clove, chopped. Salt and pepper. Optional: Parmesan cheese, freshly shredded, and olive oil, for topping. Amounts are guiding only. Adjust to what you prefer. Preparation: Thaw the shrimp and spinach if frozen. Chop spinach roughly. Boil water for cooking pasta, and heat up frying-pan for spinach and shrimps to medium-high. While the pasta is cooking (keep an eye on it, need only 3 min.), heat up a a little olive oil/butter/margerine on the pan, and add spinach and garlic. Turn over and heat up/cook the spinach and add shrimps. Turn down heat. Shrimps musn't cook on too high temperature, or they get a tough structure. Drain ravioli, and add to shrimps and spinach. Turn over to blend all well. Add a dash of pepper, and salt if needed. Serve warm and fresh, topped with parmesan cheese and sprinkled with olive oil. Ea's Lemon-and-olive oil marinated salmon with pasta 1 person preparation time: marinating: 1-2 hours, cooking time: 10 min. Ingredients: One salmon fillet 1/2 - 1 Chili pepper, not too strong, and preferably red as it looks nicer than green 1 -1 1/2 sp. olive oil 1 -1 1/2 sp. lemon juice Salt 100-125 g tagliolini pasta or spaghetti Preparation: Cut salmon fillet in bite sized pieces. Chop chili pepper finely. Mix oil, lemon juice, salt, and chili pepper, and marinate the salmon pieces in this mixture for at least 1 hour. Cook the spaghetti and drain the water. Add the marinated salmon to the spaghetti in the cooking pot and turn gently. If there's lots of marinade left over, you made too much - and don't add it, the fish is dead and can't swim anyway. The heat from the pasta will cook the salmon, and it should not need to be re-heated. When the salmon is cooked gently this way, it is particularly soft and creamy. |
