Don't know about you, but we have a semi precious Friday night ritual that involves a trip to the Lincoln Tandoori on the High St (quite simply the best Indian restaurant in Lincolnshire. We have tried every single other one) a Cobra or two (there is a child present after all!) and it just rounds the week off perfectly. Well, like many other people, we have geographically diverse children who need collecting every other Friday or so, which puts paid to Friday Curry Night (mainly means it becomes Saturday Curry Night and hisself and I just glare at each other as to who has chauffeuring responsibilities!) However, this doesn't fill the aching curry void of a lonely Friday night without my soulmate and I usually wander around the kitchen munching arbitrarily. So what is a girl to do when these nights hove into view. Let me tell you and maybe you, too, won't suffer withdrawal symptoms.
The answer is quite simple, but you need the help of Volcano Chilli and here's the recipe:
1 packet of mini poppadums (must be plain) (I like Waitrose because they're adequately salty)
1 Jar of Volcano Chilli's Hurricane Wilbur Mango Chutney
1 bottle of flint Chablis or mayhap a large bottle of Cobra
1 jar of inferior mango chutney (tonight I was mainly eatingVeeraswamy's Bengal Mango Chutney)
A semi broken heart.
Put large teaspoons of each chutney on a small plate.
Using a separate teaspoon for each chutney smear mini poppadums with alternate chutneys.
Sip or quaff wine/beer with each mini smeared poppadum
Reflect on the quality of the Hurricane Wilbur whose mango is soft and yielding and in small pieces compared to the alt chutney whose mango chunks are hard and large and off putting (and we all know how hard and large can be off putting on a Fricay night)
Be grateful that you have the rest of a jar of Wilbur left for the next time you've been abandoned and life has whupped your wotsit.
Enough pseudo philosophy from me. Get some Wilbur Chutney
Great post :-)
