This turned out really good, not as spicy as I was expecting but it worked really well. When I first tried a spoonfull it tasted a bit bland, I got side tracked and came back an hour later... huge difference, def needs a little time to meld together. Looking forward to having this for lunch tomorrow. -
I'm sorry to say that mine turned out to be watery and bland, but maybe I'm more adventurous about my Indian Curry. -
What a lovely meal! I added chunks of skinned, boned chicken breast which I peppered and seared with the onion and garlic. Otherwise, I followed the recipe precisely, and it was delicious. A gorgeous color from the turmeric, a hint of sweetness from the red pepper--with the addition of the chicken and served over jasmine rice, a wonderful meal. Thank you, Evelyn.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
