Hi there @TheresaV 

 

No I don't make those too fiddly best bought from Indian Quarter ~ they have such delights.

Another favorite is Coconut Ice ~ No ice looks like ice ....

Absolutely yes!  @O2LaurenC 

Nothing better ~ I make a large pot ~ of Madras and put into freezer in small containers and  enjoy another day.  Put with fresh rice.  My favorite rice is basmati.

Trick to cooking basmati rice is ~  

I measure in a small plastic cup ~ then put rice into jug of  just warm water stir gently once, leave over day.

Then rinse rice in cold fresh water drain and put rice into pan of boiling water stir once only takes a few minutes watch carefully as easily over-cooked.  Drain and rinse once then I leave it in colander for bit to dry off ~ whilst getting table ready or preparing side dishes.  That is plain rice ~ wedding rice is cooked with  saffron in the boiling water (or you can use a small spoon of tumeric )~  but same method all other ingredients added after cooking. 

The Samosas ~ nothing left ever!

Glad you like it ~laughing

@TallTrees 

What a great menu for Valentines Day. Even though I`m on my own and a vegetarian, I`d certainly enjoy having the rice, side dishes, potatoes, and mango cutney. Could you tell me what the sweet is? Not heard of it before and I`m curious...
