Title: Aldi
Post by: Alex on April 27, 2022, 10:36:27 AM
I bought a packet mix from Aldi for Bombay Potato, I used up some spuds that were starting to sprout but still firm.  I also added a couple of tablespoons of olive oil which is not mentioned on the packet, bung in the oven and Bob's yer uncle, bit of parsley to look posh  :grin:.  Maybe nobody will be interested, but hey it's another thread and if it does as well as the Iceberg Lettuce thread, my job is done  :rofl: :rofl:

I can't eat hot curries, I tend to go for Bhuna which is medium.  This to me isn't too hot at all, it's more spicy than hot  :grin: hard to explain Jacq !

For some reason I've started eating and enjoying ready-meal chicken Madras with Pilau rice.. I'm talking 3 a week. Fairly hot 'n spicy but ready in 5/6 minutes. Picking the onion out takes a while but I have to eat something! :grin:
