It works with plain flour if you don't have gram flour. You can adapt it to use any spices you want, and half the amount of curry powder. Also much nicer fried than baked.

As may have been obvious from some of my previous posts on this thread, I love Greek food so much. This sort of meal makes me happy.

It’s something we do only rarely, but I always wonder why we don’t make the effort more often - it’s such a winning combo. Seems like more than the sum of its parts.

We managed sausage and mash last night.
Tonight (again depends on us feeling up to cooking/eating) I am planning on a roast type thing - baked chicken thighs (skin on, bone in) for me, fried tuna steak for OH. With roast spuds, stuffing balls, broccoli and gravy.

Not soup 
Am thinking sweet potatoe and hummus mash with veggie bangers or might risk a pizza (obvs with Pineapple) or I quite fancy trying one of the McPlant thingys or Fish & Chips & Mushies or Chicken Shish and Chips and Halloumi or Tortilla or Noodles with Spinach Dumplings or a nice Ruby or Chicken Breast in Pitta or a Veggie Lasagne - I don't know what yet, there won't be a sangwich
but I'm looking forward to whatever it is.

My Nanny was called Fanny (her name was Francis (which I chose for my confirmation name too))
She used to call me Francis even tho' it was my 3rd name, I have a 1st and 2nd name and different people call me by them.
I think it's an Irish thing.
Numbers is my 4th and favourite name.

We managed a mini-roast last night!
Again tonight's tea depends on how we feel (me for cooking, both of us for eating) - it helps that neither of us has so far lost our sense of taste (my sense of smell is a bit reduced, but not enough to have impacted my ability to taste food thank goodness, fingers crossed that won't happen) and we both have a bit of an appetite still despite feeling like we've been run over by a steamroller to some extent. I do think it is important to keep eating well if you are able to when unwell anyway.
We have a somewhat odd selection of things in, both stuff that has been in the freezer for a while, and a rushed grocery order when OH got a positive LFT and we realised we'd be self-isolating, but we are both agreed that a curry would clear out the airways nicely!
So I am currently getting excited about the thought of:
Thank fuck I haven't lost my appetite. I feel really quite rough, hoping it doesn't get any worse (I am worse than I was yesterday), but being stuck indoors feeling really quite unwell is horrible and it is just the thought of food alleviating the bleurghness of it all, I really hate losing my appetite and thankfully that hasn't happened since Wednesday (edit - actually I think it was Tuesday) when I skipped dinner cos I didn't feel up to it. The above sounds like a lot, but it is all stuff I cook frequently and I can knock it all out without a lot of thought or effort, especially if I do prep a bit at a time over the afternoon.

So I am currently getting excited about the thought of:
- Chicken makhani for me (quick version though, just going to be cubed chicken breast in sauce, not going to mess about with marinades and coating and pre-cooking the chicken, tikka style)
- White fish (I think it is coley in the freezer) and broccoli madras for OH
- Bombay potatoes
- Pilau rice
- Palak Dal (this is something we have in the freezer, purchased from Mandira's Kitchen when my parents took us to the Silent Pool gin distillery, Mandira's is next door and does the most delicious Indian ready meals - fucking expensive mind, but we got a couple of these as a treat to put in the freezer and they are fucking lush).

I have put my foot down and demanded a Chinese. So mushroom chow mein, sweet and sour chicken balls, Kung Po Prawns, salt and Chilli squid, pancake rolls and maybe some prawn toast.
