I've just spent the best part of my Saturday night viewing the amazing Manjula on Youtube.
She's a North Indian housewife, who certainly knows how to pass on her recipes.
I originally googled flat bread recipes and thought i'd check out her roti recipe. Loved it and spent the next 2 hours watching loads more. I've a line of post-its now with 7 quickly written recipes to try next week.
My friend Suman. Who used to work for me. Is also from North India and tries to
teach me. But she's not very patient. ( Actually i reckon she thinks i'm a bit thick) Manjula is just like her, but i can pause her and rewind...Bliss:)
Suman doesnt have much of a garden, so i grow stuff for her...Methi, coriander, garlic chives? and i let my radishes go to seed as the pods are called Mungri and make a fab curry. She in turn makes me lots of treats
Anyway, She's always nipping off to London or Birmingham to visit family and brings me back sweets and other goodies. So I'm going to surprise her with some of the sweet recipes i've picked up from Manjula. She will criticise them, and tell me how to do them better, but love that i made them anyway. And maybe be a bit more patient with me, once she realises i can follow a recipe.
BTW KYH thanks for the flatbread recipe. But i completly screwed it up. Its in the freezer now, awaiting a pizza topping.
I've continued my search and found one to try. But I'm still confused about the yeast thing. I'm used to fresh and reading conflcting ideas about adapting dried.
Ps. Manjulaskitchen@yahoo.com has the recipes. But check her out on youtube for the videos. It's best to see it to do it.
