Thanks! That's kind. I'll have a look in Holland & Barrett shop or the other health food shop here, when I get a chance.

You will struggle to find the white poppy seeds outside of an Indian/Pakistani grocers but it really is worth the effort.

The main thing that can go wrong, IIRC, is overcooking/things turning a bit mushy so I'd use a potato that tends to stay quite firm, like Desiree. ”

Thanks, farmhand. We don't have an Indian shop so I might have to postpone them or order them.

What is Palak Paneer - sounds interesting. Also, what's your recipe for Chana Masala? Cheers.

Let us know how it turns out.”

I've got a bag of buckwheat flour leftover from some (unsuccessful) blini recipe so might have a go at this too if they turn out all right.

@ Kim. I waited months till I went up to London but just seen you can order them for 80p here! They also have the Black Onion (Nigella) seeds in case you don't have any of those. Both very nice spices.

palak paneer is simply cheese in a spinach sauce. I'll try and find recipe - Think Anand or Manjum one .Recipe book at home.

Also the chana masala I mix two recipes together. I'll try and find one thats similar though as I cna't tell you off the top of my head ooops

Excellent. I looked on Amazon and they were a small fortune with postage added!

An Indian takeaway I used to go to always used to provide a plastic bag filled with raw onion. Is that what they call a salad? Always baffled me.

If it was coloured red it's what they call onion chutney, usually served with poppadums

No it was literally just chopped white onion in a bag.
