Sounds good Doug although I haven't got round to trying it yet. CAN
it be as good as the pork tenderloin??? Still, if your biggest critic
says so....! I saved the recipe in my recipes file for cooking 
sometime later.

I've saved it for later because at the moment I'm busy working my
way through a great book recommended by one of the Aussie CH's. Can't
remember who but I'm endebted to whoever it was. The book is called :

50 Great Curries of India
by Camellia Panjabi
Paperback ISBN 1-85626-186-7

I tried the Lamb Bhuna last night and it was wonderful. The recipe uses
chopped green chiles (I used my Cayennes from the garden) and then 
chile powder as well. It comes out with a hot thick sauce coating the 
lamb. Yes, yes Doug I know you hated the lamb chili but this has 
pieces of tender lamb by the end of the cooking. You trim the lamb of 
fat before cooking so it's not at all fatty.

The chiles in my garden are still fruiting like mad. Those softies, the 
tomatoes, have long gone but the chile plants are hanging on. The 
Cayenne and Fresno have been producing all summer. The big 
disappointment is the Kashmiri. They are beautiful tall bushy plants 
and are covered in flowers. But that's the problem. Not many chiles 
and certainly no red ones to dry which was the idea of growing them 
in the first place. Lets hope they can hang on a bit longer.

cheers,

David
