Hi All, I made the curry posted as Madras curry last week. Using Lamb as a good Kiwi should. Couple of points as I need to make small portions living alone. I mixed double the amounts of spices dry using my own dried Hab, Serrano,Jalapeno mixture. I put this in a jar and mix to a paste as needed with white vinegar. The vinegar give a bit of the Vindaloo flavour and lots of Hab powder makes it very Vindaloo hot. When I have got it all cooking in the saucepan. I add a bell pepper and some tomatoes (skinned). Because it is very difficult to simmer a small quantity. I put all into a glass casserole and pop it in the microwave on the lowest setting for 40 minutes stirring every 10 minutes. When using frozen Habs, for what seems to be the universally popular Macaroni Cheese. I find it easier to pop them in the food processor still frozen to chop up rather than let them thaw. I am awaiting my first Red Savinas to ripen in the next few weeks. Margaret Lauterbach ? (spelling) lost address. Your ornamental chilies Sirichi Thai and Black Namagualand have grown into wonderful plants purple fruit which I expect will turn red. Tony Flynn
