Quite interesting

Thanks Ghoulie, we watch so little tv these days that programmes like this come and go without us noticing.

Drove to Plymouth yesterday to stock up with frozen paratha, and took the opportunity to purchase some more spices.  Amongst other things, I purchased East End brand whole garam masala, and visually it was identical to that which Parveen used, including the European bay.

Incidentally, Lidl Greek (-style) yoghurt is unsweetened yet noticeably less sour than Indian hung yoghurt.

Sourness in curd comes from the amount of time it is left and the temperature it is kept at. Longer times at warmer temperature creates more sour yogurt. If you arrest the culture growth as soon as the curd has set and refrigerate it, you will have a sweet yogurt. If you allow it to continue, you will have sour.

SBS On-demand TV out here has been broadcasting this show.  Season 1 Episode 7 and 8 were on the other night when I stumbled upon them.  Chicken Pilau from Episode 7 looks like a possibility for tonight's dinner.  I'll be watching the whole season over the next week as I'll be out of action.  Scottish ancestry and Australian lifestyle aren't a good mix, but hopefully it will give me a few days in the kitchen after the initial healing.
