Did I tell you I had pakoras today? Onions, potatoes, cottage cheese ones, bread ones, green chilli ones. I didn't tell you? And they tasted damned delicious with chutney? Hmm?
You're just damned lucky I read this after dinner. That is all.

Well, the American Embassy is clearly staffed by blockheads. We shall just have to meet up someplace else. Although if you keep on talking about pakoras I may swim there tomorrow.
Now, as I understand it, masala is still a mix of some specific spices, although the particular mix depends on the family/region? See, to Amurricans, "curry" is the spice. This I know is not correct. To the Irish, I think, curry is the dish, which is probably closer to the original Indian meaning.
I grew up reading a lot of Kipling too. Time for tiffin yet? ;-)
