Stuff the Samosa! : The Cauliflower ban
http://stuffthesamosa.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-cauliflower-ban.html
A self-confessed bad cook learning how to make Indian food. Sunday, 24 March 2013. I think I can stop telling people that I can't cook now. And do you know how I found this out? Yesterday evening my flatmate was experimenting with an aubergine. She didn't want a curry and she didn't really know what else to do with it (Aubergines are so tricky). She thoughtfully cut them in half, paused and then turned to me with a thoughtful face and said "Indu, how do you think I should make this? And it has a pink bar...

Stuff the Samosa! : East meets West
http://stuffthesamosa.blogspot.com/2013/03/east-meets-west.html
A self-confessed bad cook learning how to make Indian food. Tuesday, 12 March 2013. So far this blog has explored Indian food from a British perspective but what happens when the British adopt and adapt the Indian culinary tradition? In the past week I have discovered two very interesting adaptations of Indian family cooking. The first occurred when I dug out a Indian Jalfrezi wrap kit. That my mother had given me:. And the second was a dubious Argi Bhaji sandwich:. Let's start with the names. Stir fry c...

Stuff the Samosa! : Sweet Memories
http://stuffthesamosa.blogspot.com/2013/04/some-of-my-earliest-childhood-memories_1.html
A self-confessed bad cook learning how to make Indian food. Monday, 1 April 2013. Some of my earliest childhood memories are to do with Indian sweets. My eyes would widen as I peeked into the clear cellophane of the box. slowly peeling off the sellotaped sides.the creaking of the box, and then a inhaling the heady sweetness of the Gulab Jamuns. Motichoor Laddu are always a hit. And the chicken Biryani. But when it came to dessert there was a few frowns and many murmured "why don't you try this? Whatever ...

Stuff the Samosa! : Daljit Nagra
http://stuffthesamosa.blogspot.com/2013/02/daljit-nagra.html
A self-confessed bad cook learning how to make Indian food. Wednesday, 27 February 2013. The karela is not popular for one main reason, the taste. When I was young my mother and father used to encourage me and my brother to eat this dish (which we said looked like baby crocodiles), as you can imagine, the dish that was laboriously prepared was seldom met with smiles. The truth is it is now one of my favourite dishes. Why? This dish can be prepared in two ways, by stuffing the karela, or my chopping it up.

Stuff the Samosa! : April 2013
http://stuffthesamosa.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
A self-confessed bad cook learning how to make Indian food. Wednesday, 3 April 2013. Let's stuff these samosas! I probably don't need to tell you what a samosa is. They're so famous that even M&S sell them. But what you probably don't know is how far young Indu would sink in her seat when Momma Kumar would say "should we make samosas on the weekend? Let's make three things clear before I start:. 1) When Mum asked IF. 2) My place in the samosa factory line was a given. and I was not happy about it. That i...

Stuff the Samosa! : January 2013
http://stuffthesamosa.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
A self-confessed bad cook learning how to make Indian food. Monday, 28 January 2013. The tadka I made for dinner. Scrambled eggs with an Indian twist. Green chillies, onions, turmeric and other spices. The tadka has transitioned into my student cooking too, such as the spicy beans I made for lunch. Spicy beans were a doddle and I have watched my mother make those for years the real challenge is in cooking 'proper' Indian food. I would attempt Chick pea curry with rice. My version of Chick pea curry.
