Spicey creamy potatoes
Also known as Dum Aloo

This is one of my favourite potato dishes and done right is awesome but you have to play around with the spices a bit to find your own specific taste.

750g (11/2 lb) potatoes
50g butter
2 medium onions peeledand finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp chilli powder
1/4 tsp pepper (I use white pepper but it doesn't really matter)
150g cream (150g is a guideline as I use more than that and double cream if you can)
100g tomatoe puree (I use a whole one of them squeazy tube ones)

Scrub (not peel) the potatoes, then cut them in half or quarters if they're big enough and par boil them for about 10-15 minutes. Once they're done drain them and leave to one side

Add the butter to a frying pan and fry the onions gently until they start to soften. Add all the spices including the salt (I usually mix all the spices first before adding), stir well for about another minute. Add the cream and tomatoe puree and stir well for another minute or so.

Place the potatoes into a casserole dish with a tight-fitting lid and pour the creamy spice mix over the potatoes. Put the lid on and bake in a oven (180C/350F Gas Mark 4) for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through. I usually take the dish out every 10 minutes or so and give it a bit of a stir.

That's It!!!

Oh, If you want you can make a nice homemade soup by not adding the potatoes but adding a bit more cream.

One from my student days.................

Take two thick slices of bread.

Place them in a toaster set to the setting of choice, when they pop out, spread one side of each slice liberally with butter.

Then, spread the same side of each slice liberally with Marmite

Eat while still hot, preferably with a proper cup of tea

Repeat until full!

I learnt this out of an old cookery book, and it is delicious!!!!!!!!!!! All sweet and cruncy and creamy

Childs Pudding

Get some bread, butter it and dip it in condensed sweetened milk (make sure it's both sides). Sprinkle with dessicated coconut and fry in butter until golden brown.

It Really is delicious but don't eat too much or it gets sickly. Fills the room with a sweet coconutty smell too!

This is one of Delia's - we had it for tea last night and it is great!!

2 entrecôte or sirloin steaks weighing about 8 oz (225 g) each, removed from the fridge about 1 hour before you need them
1 tablespoon light olive oil
3 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
1 small red pepper, deseeded and finely diced
6 fl oz (175 ml) red wine
1 level tablespoon half-fat crème fraîche
1/4 level teaspoon paprika
a few sprigs fresh watercress, to garnish
salt and freshly milled black pepper

First of all, heat half the oil in the frying pan over a high heat, then fry the chopped shallots and pepper until they're softened and tinged dark brown at the edges – about 6 minutes – and remove them to a plate. Now add the remaining oil to the pan and, keeping the heat high – the pan should be as hot as you dare – season the steaks with coarsely milled black pepper, but no salt yet, as this encourages the juices to come out. Now add the steaks to the hot pan and press them gently with a spoon so that the underneath is seared and becomes crusty. Cook the steaks for about 3 minutes each side for medium, 2 for rare and 4 for well done. Then, about 2 minutes before the end of the cooking time, return the shallots and peppers to the pan, pour the wine around the steaks and, still keeping the heat high, boil until reduced and syrupy. Then add the crème fraîche and stir it into the sauce, then season with salt and sprinkle in the paprika. Serve the steaks on hot plates with the sauce spooned over and garnish with watercress. They're lovely served with jacket potatoes and a salad.
