chrisp65 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 I just made my first ever tarka dhal. Now, self assessment is wonderful thing, but I reckon it was by far the best tarka dhal that I’ve ever tasted. Based on a basic BBC Food recipe but with everything (except the lentils) literally doubled from what they’d listed and a chilli and a stock cube added. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always have a dhal with a curry nowadays - so many types, textures and flavours. Bloody lovely stuff bbc food website is pretty decent to be fair - always good for a few ideas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and not having to convert whatever a 'kin cup of flour is in grams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer and curry gets me all bloaty and full feeling too quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 24, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2020 Nah I love a beer with a curry. I don't really care about drinking with meals. I'm not a big drinker anyway unless I'm actually out drinking. But if I go out for a curry I definitely prefer having a pint with it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I think beer and curry goes really well together, might come from the days of bring your own cans and getting pissed in the balti house, I associate Indian food with drink Chinese on the other hand is the opposite, Chinese and beer bloats me half to death Got an aktar at home box coming for my mom's birthday at the weekend, £60 for 10 curries from Michelin starred opheem, very excited about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes me too full feeling, too soon. Wine lets me continue getting drunk while eating. It's not a taste choice nor am I being snobbish but if I'm in a curry house the secondary reason is I'm on the piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted September 24, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2020 Guinness with curry, it's far less bloaty than lagers and goes down like a silky dream contrary to the myths about it being filling. Besides it's almost certainly the best drink you're going to find in such establishments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
