That looks bang on. What did you have in it?

Edit - meant to be in reply to @marcomarcos

Rotisserie function of our oven finally tested. So delicious.

Chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic, mushrooms, herbs, blended tomatoes, olive oil & butter, red wine, beef & pork mince. Plus tagliatelle . Will last the two of us three or four days.

I need a big frying pan with a lid.

It must be:

• cheap (sub-£50, ideally less than 30)
  
• dishwasher-friendly
  
• available online or at Sainsbury's (miss TK Maxx)
  
  

Any suggestions?

Also, these books are fantastic.

I've made countless recipes from them and there's not been a dud, and I've been making my own chapatis like it's normal.

The rice with cumin and caramelized onion is so simple but I've never made rice that good before, and rarely eaten anything that good out.

High recommended if you're interested in Indian food, the one on the right has a great section on the typical ingredients as well.

I recently bought a Pyrolux stainless steel saute pan, brilliant quality and very inexpensive... I imagine they're available in the UK as well...

Top end of budget but has lid:

@marcomarcos did you slice the garlic with a razor blade?

I'm the only lamb eater in the house so ended up with a whole butterflied leg to myself yesterday (everyone else had chicken). Marinated it in garlic, rosemary, corriander, cumin, lemon zest and olive oil overnight and roasted it. It was flipping delicious but i have loads leftover. Any ideas for using it up other than just slicing off hunks and eating it cold.

Fry it til it's nice and crunchy around the edges and chuck it into flatbread with whatever else you fancy... Sounds bloody delicious...

Is there another way to slice it? ( :

Combine with some curry flavourings, chopped onion, spring onion, coriander, and pilau rice (and whatever else you want) for biryani vibes.

It looks like they are just down there unfortunately.

Also ticks two boxes I forgot to add, oven safe and induction hob friendly.

It might be a winner - thanks.

I've bought a few pans from that place and they have all been good for the price.

get asafoetida and kasuri methi in your cupboard ASAP

Doesn't everyone have those already, next to the fenugreek seeds?

Kasuri methi has been in there a while. Asafoetida not yet - I've heard it's quite pungent.

Our neighbours are Gujarati and made my wife some methi pak after she gave birth. I thought it was barfi and had a big bite. I was... surprised.

fenugreek seeds

vile stuff but need in the tadka

Fenugreek is great in Indian spice mixes but man the smell lingers for days.

^^spicy lamb flatbreads on the menu tonight. Cheers!

Anyone else watch Mikey Chen on youtube? I love him.

Obviously not vile at all if you use them right (in small quantities). Fennel and fenugreek seeds are a wonderful combination.
