What have you just eaten??

[Debridger]

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
