Thank you Paji, so do you heat the olive oil in a pan and add the rest?

I wouldn't use olive oil for frying tardka as it goes toxic at high temps try rice bran oil instead (plus you can use in baking as no strong taste) deffo steer clear of sunflower oil highly carcinogenic on heating .

I got greens coming out of my ears, lol, but nuts not so much. I find they have a high fat content, and I've had a slow metabolism since I was a kid, so anything with even naturally occurring fat is rough for me. You can imagine what artificial fats do to me. Training is the only reason I'm lean. Even a great diet and no exercise would result in me being soft around the edges.

I add sauted veges to couscous, but not pasta. I like to keep that the old Italian way. But your hulk rice sounds brill. I'm actually going to give that a go on the weekend.

A spoon of olive oil or any healthy alternative to bind it together, bhenji. Cook it properly. You don't want the above under-cooked or even raw.

sounds like you need a little more salt in your diet , because the sodium is needed to form the acid used for digestion and potassium (pears, potatoes, bananas)

p.s try raw shelled hempseed omega3 rich easy to digest , not as allergenic as most nuts

What's OJ? Broccoli is good in protein. People think meat has a lot of protein, but it doesn't. Broccoli and lentils have more I think.

Our ancestors actually had good diets based on all the natural organic fruit legumes and vegetables.

OJ = orange juice

meat/ fish are already formed proteins which our bodies have to break down and then rebuild into the types of proteins our bodies need to use for repair/growth, whereas Plants and fruits are mostly amino acid rich so can be more easily built into the required protein by our bodies thus we don't feel energy depleted and there are not so many by products produced to strain the liver and kidneys.

Sea salt (fine texture) is better alternative than table salt .

because it has other minerals in it I think the taste is different , nicer (more complete?) now if i have just plain table salt it seems much harsher. It is excellent for everything because salt is a mineral the heat doesn't change it

Porridge! ;)

I HATE porridge :(

Sago seeds are lovely, [saboo Dhaaana]

Tesco do some meat free, egg free things. Veggie finders, burgers. Linda does too the sausages. Just buy the dried soya and imerse in water for a few hours then add sauces etc to make a nice curry :)

Thank you Paji, so do you heat the olive oil in a pan and add the rest?

In a medium pot, yes, but don't rush it like goreh do on telly. A spoon of whatever oil you're using, then put in the tin of chopped tomatoes, then the various masaleh and coriander, etc. Make sure the concoction is cooked and creamy, not watery. After that, chuck the pasta in, mix it in thoroughly with the sauce, and if you want turn off the heat (to stop the pasta from sticking and turning into kheer, lol) but keep the lid on for 5 mins. Should be done.

But if JKV bhenji says olive oil is dodgy I'll try another oil. It's been fine for me all these years, but I'm always up for trying new stuff.

but the thing is italians do add veg to their pastas like I do ...fresh leaf spinach wilted into a pan of garlic sauteed mushrooms again chuck into pasta quick and tasty just remember to season with salt and pepper nicely.

Oh aye, I add spinach leaves and slices of mushroom and all that. I meant like a chunk of frozen vegetables; I don't do that, lol.

I HATE porridge :(

You're missing out, Singh! A bowl of porridge in the morning, a spoon of alsi (ground linseed) mixed in, a bit of weight training, and you'll have a body of steel in 6 months... as long as you keep away from the pizza and chips, lol.
