    Also, if you buy herbs/spices at Lidls, the sell by date is a couple of years beyond that of major supermarkets. Is that OS enough or are you growing your own?

    Too late...I've bought everything from Morrisons! :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I know it's a bit late for this one (rice on now), but there really isn't much sauce. How do I get there to be more, thick, sauce next time?

    Hullo :wave:

    You could pour a bit of boiling water into the curry to produce a bit of sauce, just a splash at a time, stir, splash, stir ..... until it loosens up a bit.

    (Loosens up as in 'thins out' not 'chills out' :D )
    Just run, run and keep on running!

    Chickpea curry is nice with quite a tomatoey sauce, so next time you could chuck in some tomatoe puree, or a tin of tomatoes. The latter is likely to need quite a bit of boiling off/reducing*, however.

    *'Boiling off' isn't a real term, I don't think. 'Reducing' is where you boil or simmer something for a while so the water evaporates off and the sauce thickens. :p

    Mmm, well it looks lovely. I am jealous!! :T :T :T
  • It's the turmeric which makes it smell quite so good - turmeric and fresh ginger are 2 of the best smells ever!!
