Topic: My Dhansak

[curryhell]

..................ended up buying a tin of pineapple chunks (in juice) and just using that. It was cheaper than the alternative

And you got dessert after your dhansak  ;D ;D

Dish looks good Garp.  Toying with going out for a beer followed by a TA or a donkey kebab.  Or i could just stay in and cook yet another vindaloo, just to further the cause

Just do them all, CH. A pint, a kebab, then home and cook a vindaloo. Sounds like the perfect Saturday night

Yeah! The Life On Mars diet!

Sorry- and meant to ask- what amount of lentils is 'half cup' in grams or tbsp? Trying this tonight- will try and remember photos- here or in the new thread?

[Garp]

I have no idea mate. I just pre-cooked too much then added a couple of dessert spoonfuls til I thought it looked about right. Not very scientific but I can't be bothered with all this 'cup' nonsense

[SoberRat]

half a cup is 8 TBS or 113 grams.

Thanks very much SoberRat! It seems a lot for one person, but what do I know?- never cooked the (moderated) in me life! Here goes nothing Cheers!

That's one of the reasons I only put 2/3 of the lentils in first so that I can have the option of not adding too much but it does make quite a large portion, so some for breakfast.

I'm sure it will be fine mate. My fear was overcooking them and ending up with soup, so just don't overcook them

[Onions]

Ah ha. This sounds like another tempting opportunity to cock it right up  cheers! lol
