Hmm I don't use it to make tortillas, I make them with normal wheat flour. I use it to make pakoras and thicken curry sauces made with yoghurt.Part time working mum | Married in 2014 | DS born 2015 & DD born 2018

Well I decided to put the £5.05 change from hubbles pocket into the "car not heap pot" I'm pretty confident we'll come in on budget (she says) so if it's in the pot it won't be spent on carp!!
will update sig in a sec.0 -
Is there a recipe around for these please? I'm trying to cut back on red meat (slightly high cholesterol and refusing to take statins) and they sound good.... I even have pinto beans in the houseBluegreen143 wrote: »and pinto bean & mushroom burger for me.

We had HM wedges, honey roast gammon and mushy peas for dinner.
Cake decorating talk - I had a go. No eggs left for my nest cup cake. I was quite pleased for a first attempt.

I made pancakes with gram flour on Shrove Tuesday - a bit heavier than normal pancakes but we used them to make savoury mince pancakes with mushroom sauce and they were lovely and filling.
