@Wayward this way of doing the paneer worked really well. Held up to cooking in the sauce and stirring, but still soft and no rubberiness…nicer than bought stuff …and with the negligible cost of the the vinegar, cheaper than shop bought paneer, and mine’s organic.
Tesco paneer £1.30 / 200g -=£6.50/ kg
Organic whole milk 2.272l £1.50/ 350g paneer= £4.28/ kg for organic paneer

Very tasty
Macher jhol, a wet fish (we used cod, prawns, squid and mussels) curry of aubergine, potatoes and moong dal. Carrot and peas fry
that chickpea recipe looks great. Might have a go on Friday
It’s very nice. Proper sour. I added some stoneflower in when pressure cooking the chickpeas, because I read elsewhere that was traditional with the amla. I will definitely cook it again, mainly because I don’t know any other recipes that use amla.
The sweetness of the lightly fried cherry tomatoes went very well with it.
I will have to improvise, no amla, only tins of chickpeas
You won’t need the amla. It adds a slight sourness, but the predominant sourness is from the amchur anyway. Tea bag and the stone flower will be good.
I only bought some because I’d never heard of it before and spice geek.
It amazes me that I’ve been geeky spice hunting for 20 years and I’m still discovering new spices.
I was thinking about Iranian dried lime for an edge of sourness
That would probably be a really good substitute. Maybe just one lime or even just half.
I used 2tsp amchur and 1tsp pomegranate seeds powder instead of 1tbsp amchur
did an online shop to top up the spice stocks and bought some Amla. I forgot to buy Chickpeas, and anyway Louise tells me i am making Aloo Gobi tonight…
Friend found this place and has placed an order
I love this!
Never intentionally cooked pasta this way!
i used the Asian Cook shop as i wanted to buy some Soy and Fish Sauce and the my local chinese supermarket only had 2l or 5l containers.
I was very disappointed with Red Rickshaw, both the fresh curry leaves and the fresh methi were rotten on arrival and the frozen coconut had defrosted.
Food of the gods
we’ve tried loads of recipes, but this one is our fav
top tip: use a waxy potato like Charlotte, and it won’t disintegrate.
Disappointing about red rickshaw (and the curry leaves!!)…puts me off ordering from them again
to their credit they did refund me when I moaned to them. I bought two frozen items from them and the ice packs and insulation was woefully inadequate
