1 Flat Tsp of Tumeric

3 de-seeded chilli
Salt (to taste)
Freeshly ground black pepper
Cooking Oil

1- Cut potatoes into 16ths (bite-sized)
2- Boil potato's first with a pinch of salt. Under-boil them because they will be pan fried.

6- Add chillies, stir for a minute
7- Add cilantro, stir for a minute

    We went to our favourite Indian (Suruchi Too in Edinburgh) again last night. During the Leith festival they do stalls and teach people how to cook. We were talking to the manager as per usual, and discovered that the Chef from Suruchi is the guy who teaches the vegetarian cookery class that I was considering signing up for. Of course, now I HAVE to join that class.

    You threw me with the Cilantro (I'd never heard of it), until I found out you meant Coriander wink.gif

    Maybe you could keep any new recipes all in one thread? Or just edit a post to add more?
    It makes more sense than starting a new thread for every recipe, and this way everyone can contribute their own, we can have a big "Recipe Thread" or something.

    Sounds good though! I may have to have a go at some of this later on, I have most of those spices already.
