The Super Gram

Black Gram, also known as Urid Beans. Apart of the mung bean family a small oval shaped black gram, very creamy in taste and texture and mainly used to make Urad Dall, a favourite lentil dall made by the Punjabis. The pulse is high in protein, more than you would get from a similar serving of chicken breast.

Available dried, best left to soak for 24hrs before boiling for a good half an hour, alternatively soak for 30 minutes before placing in a pressure cooker and allow three to four whistles.

You may not know this though Black Gram Flour is used to make Indian style savoury pancakes, called Dosai.

The Mixed pickle - Have you forgotton how good it was?

We all know that Patak's made pickles famous in the west, though when was the last time you tried some. Opened a jar of the Mixed Pickle a few days ago and boy, I'd forgotten how good they are, mangoes, lime, carrots, chilli and karamda (sour green berry), in a spicy, sour sauce.

Egg Bhurji - Spicy Scrambled Eggs

Egg Mince Masala (Egg Bhurji)

                                                             Ingredients                                        Serves 4-6

16 large eggs, slightly whipped

2 med onions, finely sliced

1tbsp garlic crushed

1tbsp ginger crushed

3-4 green chillies, finely chopped

1tbsp tomato puree

½ juice of a fresh lemon

1tsp chilli powder

1tsp turmeric powder

1tsp garam masala

1tsp ground coriander

1tsp ground black pepper

8tbsp sunflower oil

1 ½ tsp salt

Preparation

Heat up the oil in a large non-stick pot, on a medium heat. Once hot add the onions, garlic, ginger, chillies and stir fry until caramelised and slightly brown.

Pour in the eggs and keep stirring, using a wooden spoon. You don’t want the eggs to stick to the bottom of the pot, so make sure, you stir every part of the bottom and the sides. Keep breaking the cooked eggs, until they become a fine scrabble and all the egg has cooked.

Add the tomato puree, all the dried spices and lemon juice, stir well, reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes before serving hot, ideally with Naan bread.

Sprinkle more lemon if required.

The Aromatic Leaf

Curry Leaves (Curry Patta), these aromatic, lemony smelling leaves give off a wonderful aroma to a variety of Indian dishes. Widely used in South Indian cooking, they are often added to hot oil at the beginning of cooking to bring out their true flavour. Available fresh or dried, they can be purchased in any good south Asian grocer. I recommend freezing the fresh ones as they don’t last for very long.
