Infantile, I know - but I was rolling around with laughter after that last comment by the good Dr Funk  

Imagine my consternation when I tried to post a line of laughing smilies and got an ERROR message:

"You have posted more emoticons than this site allows"

........it made me giggle even more  

Phew, fancy -The Emotion Police, and I didn't even know they existed!!

Didn't the "other place" have a smiley for that particular action???   

Pretty quick thinking there Dr F ......... we can always rely on you to come up with a witty retort :lol:

Thanks jyotirmoy for the great recipe - a great dinner!!

OK, Jyoti da, encouraged by your {{fantastic}}  Chicken65 recipe we plan to do this one next. Can't promise when...

Do look forward to recipes which we can make with the 'bland_hormone-fed_tasteless meat' we get here. However, if you can post a recipe for Pomfret - semi-thick gravy- I'm willing to make that trip to International Farmers Market in Atlanta this weekend!   And post a picture, promise!

The Pomfret here comes from Venezuela if I remember.
I think this is the one : http://www.fabuloust...alb/dekalb.html

Hyderabadi, I know you'll enjoy this one, but the steamed egg curry is equally good, and quick to make too.  Have a look.
