Lunch should have its own thread

Any chance of a recipe? A good mulligatawny is a thing of beauty.


I sort of used this one. But didn't bother with the almonds.

Other Madhur Jaffrey recipes include a couple of tins of tomatoes, half an apple and all sorts of gubbins. Normally I'd add the tomatoes but I wanted to try it thinner this time. I added a lot more stock though, and more cayenne and paprika. There's dozens of Madhur Jaffrey mulligatawny recipes around and I tend to take elements of a few that sound good at the time. Results can vary :oops:

Next time, I might follow sojourner's mum's idea and add rice

Thanks. Looks essentially like a watery curry recipe, which I guess is what mulligatawny should be.
 
Curry leftover from yesterday's delivery from superb Indian restaurant near me. Chana massala, tarka dal and chili paneer with mango chutney and lime pickle. 😋
 
Went to the canteen but the queue was huge and it didn't look very inspiring anyway. Luckily I have a few packs of noodles in my desk.
 
Toasted focaccia sandwich.

Focaccia was butttered on the inside, mayonaissed on the outside.

Filling was Dijon mustard, Comte cheese, Parma ham, thin sliced mushrooms, sliced cherry tomatoes, black pepper.


Laid in a hot cast iron pan one one side then flipped. Mayonnaise toasted the outside beautifully.

Served with cornichons and a cup of strong black coffee.
 
My winter squashes were annoying me because I have no oven and I had to boil water specially to remove the skin ...
Microwave !
I cut a small spaghetti squash in half, put it face down in a pyrex nuke for about 8 mins.
serve as it is with tamari and tahini.

:thumbs:

EDIT:-

Damn that newly-rediscovered microwave - a can of very outdated taco beans - plus milled flaxseed plus tahini followed the squash :p

Well it's bloody cold out there...

Boiing water removed the skin? I use a spud peeler, needs to be a decent one and it's still hard work!

I basically tended to only have them if I was also boiling spuds - sliced into chunks, placed skin down on top of the spuds, then hoiked them out into cold water so I could handle them and get the skin off whole with a knife - and then added to my sautee pan...

Might try that make it easier when I'm trying to roast a load. :)
 
I needed a moderate quantity of carbs to warm me up, so I nuked two teeny spaghetti squashes.
