    My slow cooker curry is much the same but I like to add a good handful of sultans/raisins and some chopped dried apricots.......apples are also good if you can pop them in for the last half hour (or they turn to mush).

    Veggie chilli is done in much the same way and makes a nice change from a heavy meatier one.

    Wouldn't that make it a meat curry?

    My South Asian neighbour told me that all real curries are unique because they use whatever is in the fridge and cupboard so we're obviously authentic. :T:T:T

    A bit of ginger makes a curry rather nice and, if it's too strong for your taste, add some yoghurt or coconut milk or creamed coconut - any coconut over freezes fine.
    But how can you know what you want till you get what you want and you see if you like it?

    Why don't you try Starbucks Via Colombian coffee which is sold in the supermarket - a box of 7 sachets is around £2.99 so although it's not the cheapest, goes a long way to tasting like the proper stuff. Looks like filter coffee when you put it into the cup, but it really is an instant.

    **whispers**

    I don't like starbucks :eek:

    I am such a coffee snob :o:rotfl:

    I might be prepared to give the sachets a go, though - it will only cost the same as one genuine Nero, so will easily pay for itself even if I have to "suffer" the rest of the packet! Thank you for the tip.....I will let you know how I get on!

    I think I must be weird cos curried sprouts actually sounded appealing, well more appealing than normal sprouts anyway!

    It is all out war against the snooze button, Shelley - I really do need to crack it!

    Forgot to mention, I picked up my new glasses this afternoon. They are very different to my last pair, and I love them :D

    They have got to last me for a good couple of years I reckon, so it is probably just as well I like them on day 1 at least !!!
