• What I did last night

  I conjured up in my little laboratory of smells, ingredients and meats...a strange fusion indian and western dish..tasted great. This is solely my opinion and the maids too but the kids wouldn't go a mile near. Here's the recipe if you'd like to try it. This is not for vegan's.

  Serves 2 persons.

  1 cup of green peas.

  1/2 a large red capsicum (any colour will do)

  3 dried chillies

  3 small red onions, sliced

  5 garlic pips, sliced

  1 teaspoon of chilly powder

  1 large sausage, sliced thin so they look like little coins (I used chicken sausages)

  6 curry leaves

  1 teaspoon paprika

  1 teaspoon mustard seeds

  1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

  4 table spoons corn oil (if you don't mind the cholestrol, peanut oil is better)

  Salt to taste.

  Method.

  1.Heat the oil in in wok or a stir fry pan

  2.Put in the mustard seeds and wait till they start popping, then put in the curry leaves, dried chilli, onion, garlic and cumin seeds. turn the heat low.

  3.Add in the chilli and paprika powder, stir until the oil turns gets the chilli tint.

  4.Add in the peas and capsicum. Keep stirring for about 1 minute to low heat.

  5.Add in the sliced sausages and continue stirring for about a minute, cover with a lid. Keep checking to see that the sausages are cooked.

  Serve hot, with rice or chapati's (or maybe the mexican tortilla's)

  CAUTION: This dish would very spicy for those of you not accustomed to dried chillis or indian food.

  The sausages could be replaced by minced beef and it should taste lovely.

  Good luck.
