Pakora Curry
Heat some ghee in your chosen pan.
Add some salt, asafoetida, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, a couple of bits of cinamon bark and a few star anise. Heat until its all popping away aromatically.
Add a chopped onion, some ginger (a fair amount), some garlic (not loads) and a finely sliced chilli. Heat until the onions begin to soften.
Add a few chopped tomatoes and soften.
Add some water and simmer until it's mostly evaporated.
Add some ground almonds and simmer a few minutes to get a creamy consistency.
Add the pakora and heat through.
(If using paneer, cut into cubes and fry until brown beforehand).
Of course, we all know about the guy who overdosed on curry and fell into a korma...
Some letters from The Grauniad:
"No offence, but do you think I could ask Jack Straw to wear a veil if I had
an appointment with him?"
and..
"I'm writing to express my concern about the wearing of the kilt by certain
extremist Scots. In the first place, it clearly marks them out as separate from
our society. Second, I feel threatened by the thought of what might be
underneath"
