Green Beans Poriyal

This is a wonderful way to serve green beans, we cook okra in the same way at home, a South Indian style of cooking I learnt from my hubby. For this recipe it helps to steam the green beans for about 5 minutes first to soften them to speed it up, I simply did this in a microwave in a glass bowl with a lid with a little water added. No need for those expensive bags of steamed veggies.

Chai Smoked Salmon

I have to say my favorite Food Section is The Guardian I always seem to get so inspired and cook from it and I tweet with a couple of the writers, lovely folks. This article about a smoked salmon dish with greens and poached egg in a pub, got my attention as I have been wanting to try home smoking and it sounded so easy. So I made chai smoked salmon it was so good. But the only draw back to making it is the fact it makes the house smell :-) I bet you could do on a grill outside. 

Blossoms

Spring is in the air in North Carolina, I have been enjoying seeing some wonderful blossoms on my walks and thought I would share some. Flowers always make the world a better place.

Lamb and Spinach Curry

Here's a great recipe for lamb curry I pretty much make it the same way each time as its a winner, this time I added spinach it was so good, not sure why I hadn't done this before. In fact I was recently featured in ADA Times now Food and Nutrition Magazine see page 17 on lamb and my recipe is there for a Moroccan inspired Lamb dish.
