Men wearing skirts.

@HannibalBarca I tried couscous. The name sounded delicious so I bought it from my local Tesco. Yuck it was horrid. Give the the recipe.I suspect the Tesco version was a poor attempt at the real thing.

Self made couscous is always better, i have tried those from store usually in the vegetarian section, doesnt come close to that of mama.

Self made couscous is always better,

Yeh I agree. But I will have to learn to make it. Or maybe @HannibalBarca will cook it for us if we go to holiday in Tunisia. For some strange reason I feel safer in Turkey but Tunisia I am tad nervous. Would love to go there though. Tunis looks fab.

And Tunisia is safe. But Ofc, you gonna see/feel it with your own eyes to believe.

Very much so. I know. Everybody says that about me.

No I am not educated. And can way move beyond the sin of me not be able to read or speak great Urdu please. If you don't mind that. Open another darned thread on Urdu okay./

Well if you are born and raised in UK and that,s the reason you cannot read urdu.You should have told me about that instead of acting in a rude manner.

Okay guys. My wife/mum have gone to Pakistan to visit relatives in particular my centurion grandmother. Anyway this means I am wearing the 'skirt' so to speak. Proof that I have come a long way from my youth when I was a brat, misogynist to boot. Over the succeeding 40 years I am a mature [or iI should like to think so] and think women are the better half of the human experiance. Well I had few daughters so that chastened me.

So I would like this thread to be about cooking. Yes cooking recipes. I am a rather good cook so I would like to share my recipe for Chicken Karahi with you guys that I made today.

Ingedients.

1.5 kg Boneless Chicken
1 tbs Cumin Seeds
2 tbs spice mix - mine is already prepared by wife. No idea what goes into it.
Half block of butter/ Olive oil to taste.
3 large salad chillies
1 bell pepper red.
half clove of garlic
2 chopped onions - large.
Kasuri Methi
plum tomatoes - canned.

Oh and grab yourself a apron and a stool if your old. Place the stool next to the cooker so you can chill 'an cook. Play some music to relax while your at it. So ready, steady go ...


Masterchef with apron aka your 'Kaptaan'.




If old. Place stool strategically. Not too close that you end up with clothes on fire but close enough so that you can see what's cookin. If young stand and dance while cookin.

Onions, garlic in oil. Cook till golden

Ingedients all laid out. Plum tomatoes/spice mix gone in. Cook till deep red.

Put chicken into pot. Take care of splash. Stir till cooked. Add bell peppers/ salad chillies to taste. I forgot to buy coriander. Some of that sprinkled on top is the and your are done.

Serve with good wholesome nan.

And that was delicious. My kids certainly appreciated this.

Delicious!
