Monkeys Fist 41380 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Never even heard of ghee but it sounds like it could be the reason restaurant curries don't agree with me and I prefer my own. Its clarified butter Thanks for clarifying it's butter. Just to be clear.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4461 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 A nice bowl of Alpen for Breakfast. Tuna salad for lunch. Loving a bit of extra virgin oil drizzle on salads these days. Be interested if anyone has andy very good home made salad dressings that are reasonably healthy and in particular Im desperate for a proven home made cesar dressing that kicks ass.

Im sure the Monkey household has a favourite home made dressing or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 41380 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Oil, balsamic. Couldn't really get much simpler. Oil, White wine vinegar, Dijon mustard ( or French if you fancy - the dark brown stuff). Pinch of salt and pepper. Oil , chilli, garlic, lime juice and zest. Basically, an oil, an acid, and a flavour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4461 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Having a peruse through my newly acquired Classic Balti recipe book and a few of the ingredients are items such as.... White cumin seeds Crushed dried red chillies Mixed onion seeds Mustard seeds Fenugreek seeds Are these the sort of things that I will find in the local Asda or do you need to visit a specialist food shop?

Gemmill 42797 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Most of it. I've not seen white cumin seeds or onion seeds before, but I've not been looking for it. Usually when there's an ingredient that I think they'll never fucking have this, it's nearly always there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4461 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Not cooking but...... Seabrooke have launches a new range of crisps called "Goodbye Salt, Hello Flavour". They have 90% less salt than normal crisps. More important / incredibly for any healthy eaters / dieters who like crisps, they are only 17 cals a packet (and their big normal size packets). Compare that to a packet of walkers etc that are well over 100 cals. Quite a find. Currently munching through a packet of Jacket potato and Tomato sauce flavour.

Meenzer 15174 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Quick Google search finds a WeightWatchers thread where they're discussing these crisps. Apparently the packs have two sets of nutritional value on the back, one for the entire product and one for the flavouring. And it's the flavouring that has 17 calories per pack, never mind the tiny matter of the actual potatoes. Can you confirm, CT?
