Feed: My Life in Curry, in reply to Simon Grigg,
i have great memories of burning my face off in Thailand, not to mention the hilarious sign language it took to ensure that they didn't give me any heads or feet :)

Ok I'm going to do it. I can't believe no one else knows about it, but I can't let this thread go by without mentioning Shubh in sandringham road. It's a curry kitchen. Sell punnets and trays of the best vegetarian Indian curry for the tiniest amount of money. Also amazing chapati and other breads.
They've now got a kitchen in Onehunga too, I think.

Tips on growing coriander? By far my favourite fresh herb - can't grow it.
-
Yeah probably about 3l.
I'm still pining about groeing my own from seed ... But something in me balks at the idea of buying a heater .... Or even having to grow things inside.
Russell - do the chilli thread :) it's a whole new conversation.

oki doki :) i've had a bit of success with growing chillies this year. very pleased about that as i've had no luck in years past and it's been my fond wish to make this recipe with homegrown chillies. the main difference this year was that instead of insisting on trying to grow them from seed, i caved and bought some seedlings from the shop.
apologies for the chilli related thread-jack ....

Ben I have a good sweet chilli sauce recipe that I'd be willing to share? Given to me by a mate who used to be a chef :)
Ah curry. Close to my heart! My first curry experience must surely have been something my mother concocted with Gregg's curry powder in the 70s, which only my dad liked. Then the various crappy Indian restaurants on the Shore in the 90s. I went to one dodgy outfit in Hauraki Corner for a friends cheap birthday dinner. There was a mountain of wine bottles out the back, and when you went past the kitchen to the loo you could see these gargantuan pots of curry. One was being stirred with what looked like an oar, one with something attached to an electric drill.
Curry house on the Shore these days? There was an amazing one in Birkenhead a couple of years back called Bombay Bites - they served an amazing goat curry but sadly it's gone. I think it was a bit too authentic for whitebread Birkenhead Point, a theory borne out by the baffling flourishing of the offensive Masala across the road.
Our local curry house in London was the Taj Mahal. Loved the majestic name juxtaposed with the tacky reality of the interior decoration. The good was good as I remember, but that was also before I had visited India and found out what curry really means. My husband is still chasing the dragon of the first curry we had in Delhi - a delicious aloo mattar (potato and pea).

Fantastic. Great news.

Thank you for sharing that Russell and my heartfelt sympathies for the loss of your lovely sister. Today I'm remembering my little boy Jude who died before he was born on Christmas Eve.
It's definitely a mark if the integrity and respect inherent in this community that I post here at all ( not often :)
Merry Christmas everyone!

Best news! Congrats to all concerned. MTS rocks.

I've looked at Cameron Whatshisname 's nlog precisely once, and that was just now to see what had actually been written. Instead I saw an unctuous defense from some nobody about how great he is. Eww.
