You've probably already seen it but I love Asha's blog Foodies Hope. My sister in law is Indian but trying to get recipes out of her or family is a nightmare as they do everything from sight, touch and smell. Foodies Hope has some great recipes that I'm going to try for sure. Have a good weekend.

I was blinded by my love for it ;-) I think that flat leaf parsley can be used as a replacement like you said, Ulrike.<BR/><BR/>Em, you should have taken a photo and put it on your blog. Folks "back home" would find it funny for sure.<BR/><BR/>Cynthia, thanks. What would have been a perfect accompaniment would be one of your achaars or chutneys - thanks for your recipes! I'll be trying them out soon. Oh, and I like how I can add as many chillies as I want :-)<BR/><BR/>Rose, I think that if you get a good Indian curry paste, this dish can't go wrong. <BR/><BR/>Ruth, if you can click you heels together and transport youself over here, I would love to have you as my guest!

They say it tastes like 'cat's piss'... Not sure what is the basis for this comparison. That being said, one of my friends is slowly learning to 'like' them... <BR/>I absolutely love coriander. One of the great discoveries I made in Australia. Not too sure why but I had never eaten much of it before coming here. <BR/><BR/>Nora, yes... I saw many dead umbrellas on the side of the road today.

Not really waterproof but it absorbed most of the water... and I just had to hid my wet pants under the desk while I worked ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
