What have you just eaten??

You're right, I'd never thought of making an onion and tomato salad - I love it at the curry house.. Do you have a recipe or is it as simple as it sounds?!

Yep, as simple as that, thinlty slice onion, tomato, and chops into little pieces, add sprinkle of dried mint, a smaller spinkle of ground cumin, 1 or 2 drops of vinegar, and leave on the side so that the juices draw out.

Cheers for that it sounds delish! I'll definitely be giving that a go - along with a raita - just a shame there won't be poppadoms to scoop it up with, I'll have to make do with a hexb pitta!

You say that, someone brought into class the new(ish) snack-a-jack crunchy curls, I tasted a couple of both, and mentioned that they would make an excellent lower syn substitute for poppadoms... If I recall it was the cheeky chutney ones which were ideal, the others are sweet chilli
but at 3.5 / 4.5 syns for 18g / 22g bag... you gotta give 'em a go

You're proving to be rather the curry oracle this evening, now all I need is for you to come round and cook it all for me.. Go on, I'll let you! Lol. Really thanks though :) some good ideas that might stop me reaching for a takeaway next time the curry monster surfaces ;)

I'm just making the Apple Betty from the site...looking forward to seeing how it turns out! I've omitted the sultanas...I think they just ruin a good thing! I'll try and post a pic once it's made (if the OH doesn't demolish it first!) x

I made thus a while ago loved it and we didnt pit sultanas in so made it less syns. Was lovely what did u think?
