Steamed Masala Vada recipe, South Indian | vahrehvah[^]
and they were delicious. As in, really really good.
It's a great website for Indian recipes, and fun to browse for odd and unusual recipes, like this one, which you just dont find in your average Indian restaurant.
(I didnt have channa (yellow lentils) so I used red, which are apparently similar. And I didnt have curry leaves, so I used some fresh basil).

Hmmm, I will have a nose & possibly try something Saturday!

I did a chicken jalfrezi from this website. It was a lot better than anything you get in an indian restaurant. Its a good site, I was put on to it by an Indian guy in Toronto when I was over there a few years back.

I wish I read this post before I had lunch. Now I want Indian food but I am too full.

I tried making my own Naan bread to go with a Lamb Rogan Josh for yesterday: How to make the perfect naan bread | Life and style | The Guardian[^]
Herself gave me a pizza cooker for my birthday: Heska - Multi-Grill and Pizza Maker[^]
It doesn't go up to the kind of temperature a Tandoor does - it tops out around 250C, where a Tandoor can reach nearly double that - but the breads it cooked were damn fine! Not Naan's, but very good with the curry! And that recipe would make an excellent pizza base ...

In France I have a wood fired pizza oven, and intend to make one now I am back in Devon, and they make excellent ovens for tandoori and naans.
One trick you can do in a normal oven is to get a big floor tile, and heat the oven up to max for at least 20 mins, till it really is at 250, then you get a pretty good result.
Try replacing the water with an egg yolk, and just use yoghurt (or butter milk, even better) to bring it up to workable consistency.
And the topping has to be garlic, salt, butter, and coriander worked to a paste and spread on when it comes out. My god its good!

Good idea - I don't eat enough pizza (sacrilege for a developer, I know, I know) to make it worth the effort of building one! Hence this thing - I tried it on a frozen pizza and it did the base pretty well, though the topping was ... um ... typical for a frozen pizza.
Hopefully it'll do a good job on a home made jobbie.

I do a whacky desert pizza; fresh goats cheese (the stuff in liquid) and wallnuts on the base. In the oven, and when it comes out drizzle some honey on it and fresh mint. It is insanely good.

Sounds good!

Yeah, I also made a super mango chicken recipe yesterday, but had no mango, so replaced with french fries, and no chicken, so I used beef steaks.

All recipes are to a degree variable, but what you have done is vary it beyond reason!

Try some pemmican if you really like Indian food.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I think the OP and you are talking about different "Indian" foods.

Really? I met my first Indians when I lived in Texas.

Pretty sure that isnt indian, what is it, fat, dried fruit and oats or something?
I know they had it in antarctic expeditions in the 20s, read a book by Cherry and he talked about it.

So you know better than that guy with the name Columbus who is an Indian and who is not?

Or you if you are saying pemican came from north american natives.

Pemmican was not intended to be a delicacy. It was nutritious, did not spoil quickly and was reasonably light to carry with you on longer marches. It must taste awful, but it's the perfect iron ration in a survival situation.

You dont say. I always thought antarctic explorers took chardonnay, quails eggs, and foie gras along with them because they complimented pemmican so well!
As it turn out it is a product of the native Americans, which you called Indians, and then you accuse me of confusing north america with India, as Columbus did!

Just a failed attempt to make a joke, repeating Columbus' mistake and coming with something that's not exactly a pleasure to eat.
That usually only happens when I meet someone with two or more X chromosomes.
