I haven't cooked for a young, hungry person for about a year, but one moved into my home a few weeks ago.

I love my slow cooker. You can throw everything into it and at the end of the day you have a delicious casserole or stew. It's fantastic for legs of lamb, corned beef and cheaper cuts of any meat that looks good when it's raw.

It's nice having someone appreciate a home cooked meal and eat everything on the plate plus more until the pot is empty. I hate throwing out good food.

I still don't know how to cook a good curry though. Every time I try one - it's too spicy. The chili overtakes the curry.

The heat of a chili is in the membranes, remove them and the seeds should cut the heat down. Chilis are loaded with antioxidants, do persevere and you will get to like them.

The next curry I attempt I'll leave the chili out, but I can't find a nice curry powder. I don't like Keen's, but use it because there's nothing else on the supermarket shelf.

Posts: 43614 Gender:	Re: Food Reply #25 - Jul 11^th, 2017 at 10:19am Tbsp ground coriander Tsp ground cumin Tsp ground tumeric will give you a nice mild but spicy curry. By spicy I mean the taste of the three spices, not heat. Cook the curry, near the end remove your portion, sprinkle half a tsp chili flakes into the remainder. Everyone is happy.

Really good spicy but not hot curry:

Buy the coriander and cumin as seeds. In a dry, clean fry pan, heat the seeds until you smell the aroma. Move them around else they burn. Can add cardamon seeds if you like.

Once fragrant, tip into a spice/coffee mill or mortar and pestle, grind finely.

Once cooking the curry add:

• curry leaves

• cinnamon stick

• star anise stars

• cardamon pods

Mace, nutmeg, allspice etc all nice in curry. Cinnamon stick especially tho.

Now! Since AGW is belting vignerons around the ears they have had to respond by pulling the original varieties of white wine grapes and plant Italian varieties.

So, Monday I bought a couple bottles Fiano.

Friday I want to showcase Fiano.

So what, in the line of a cold buffet, do I buy to go with a bottle Fiano?

Fish, I suppose? Nice bit of smoked salmon? Or some nice kingfish sashimi? Or both?

Could buy, and steam, some chicken dim sims at the market? I ALWAYS give them the sign of the cross: “In Nominee Patre et Fili” I solemnly intone, squeezing a line of chili sauce North–South across the top of the dimmers. I then pick up the soy sauce bottle and intone “Et Spiritu Sancto, amen” crossing the dimmers E–W with the black stuff. Just my rather adolescent sense of humor/rebellion against Catholic upbringing/whatever. I like it.

So, chicken dim sim, smoked salmon (or rainbow trout) and/or sashimi plus olives, sundried maters, roast peppers & eggplant, falafels etc. What else?

Really looking for food to eat while drinking white wine. Preferably not requiring cooking (steaming some dim sims is OK.) Some marinated sardines, some oysters (really should drink stout or porter, copious malt vinegar splashed about.) Some cooked prawns be nice. Want to get away from seafood tho.

Any suggestions?

Like all good food, you don't need to stick to the recipe exactly, use what you have in your cupboards http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/06/dinner-tonight-chickpea-bruschetta-ba...
