Oh you are nice - I would have just said it'd have gone off by then (regardless of if it were true) and scoffed the lot!

I had intended to make this sauce for a veggie stir fry last night as I'd found a tin of coconut milk I wanted to use up. It had good reviews so was looking forward to trying it.

But when I opened the can of coconut milk, it just didn't seem quite right so I abandoned the plan and searched quickly for another easy recipe which I had the ingredients for and could rustle up in a jiffy (my rice was already on!).

Chose this one and it was really tasty (I used dry sherry instead of rice wine) - would recommend it!

I made this pork stew earlier in the week too - delicious!

Oh and it's been a week for new recipes as I also rustled up this Indian butter chicken recipe earlier in the week. The chicken was really tender, it was very tasty.

Bookmarked all those recipes. Thanks Treen! Have you tried it without the red chilis? I only ask because it's not something I normally have on hand, and doubt I would use again if there's any left over.

Oh yes, I didn't have any dried red chillis in either so just used (a slightly smaller amount of) chilli powder instead. I always seem to be missing an ingredient or two, but there's usually something similar around!

dd - if you've got a favourite chocolate cake recipe, please post it for us!

That Indian Butter Chicken sounds yum. Might have to try that one.

Made this today. Think it sounds odd but tasted lovely, and very simple to make.

I think I'll try that - I'm sure I've heard of the coke thing before but never tried it! Does it have any similarities in taste to my gran's ham recipe as a few of the ingrediemts are the same?

I think I might have posted the chocolate and banana cake recipe before - I'll have a rummage when I get and check, and if not then I'll post it.

I got a veg box which was meant for someone else at the weekend and they weren't able to collect and redeliver it, so I got to keep it. This now means I'm overrun with potatoes! And I've already filled all my little plastic boxes for the freezer with other stuff. So, any bright ideas for potato recipes which I can freeze but don't need boxes?

Oooh nice one with the free veg box! I'd probably make up a batch of rosti and stick them in the freezer to reheat in the oven - simple to make and very tasty. And how about rustling up some bombay potatoes (you can serve them with cheese?!) - think that should freeze okay, and you can freeze it in bags!

You can bury them in a box of sand in a cool dry place, and use it like a root cellar. The potatoes should keep as long as you need them to. Carrots and other roots/tubers, too.

Pureed potato is sometimes used as a stew/chowder thickener. That might use some. I make a baked casserole of sausages, potatoes, onions and bell peppers which is easy and really good. Again, you'll have a lot leftover, so more in the fridge or freezer!

A quick add-in: We did a roasting chicken in the slow cooker the past weekend. We brined it in a mix of water, salt and sugar for a day, then marinated it in a store-bought balsamic vinaigrette for 4 days, flipping it over daily. Roasted on low for about 5-6 hours, until the meat started to pull away from the leg bones and the juices ran clear. It was fabulous. Tasty and moist, and incredibly easy to make.

The chicken sounds lovely, Laurie - I don't think I'm ever organised enough to put that much preparation in to a meal though - I'd probably forget about it halfway through the week!
