Hi Sharps - welcome - looking at your avitar anything to do with Sharps Bewery at Rock Cornwall???Mighty fine establishment and I can't remember any thing about my last vist there!!!!!
Hi all!Well, what a lovely warm welcome from you all, thanks! The restaurant I worked in is sadly long gone. I'm pretty sure that the owner was from east Bengal. One of the many things that have stuck with me over the years is that his cooks would NEVER use pineapple in a Dhansak, they would only ever use jaggery as the sweetener. It really does make all the difference. Also, I learnt that the length of time bhuna-ing spices in any dish is critical because of the variation in the rate of release of the different essential oils. The old boys doing the cooking (and they were all 60+) just knew by instinct "how much, when and for how long". It was like alchemy!
I'm a drummer and my nickname has always been Sharps (it's an "in" joke and is the opposite to Flats)
