Ah see, that's the difference between a mere cook and a master chef.

My Indian freind reckons he can feed five blokes all week for £10.00. He comes from a part of India where veg dishes are all they cook. I have tasted his cooking and it is spot on.

I chatted to an Indian lady once about Indian food and I said no matter how well I follow a recipe it never tastes the same as from a restaurant. She laughed and said they only use three main spices for most Indian dishes and cook books over complicate it.

Your friend is probably correct. In the navy they budgeted on about £2.50 per person per day for food. That was for three decent meals a day. Once your Indian friend has all the basics bought in bulk he can probably do wonders with it very cheaply.

Easy, 5 loaves of bread and noodles

Cumin, coriander and turmeric?

I remember watching a YouTube video where an Indian lady was teaching you how to cook the simplified version of a particular dish. It had about 30 ingredients in it. I'd hate to see the regular version of it.

Yeah, the more people you're cooking for, the cheaper it gets. He can probably cook for five blokes all week for a tenner, but if he was cooking just for himself, it'd probably be nine.

That's what I meant. Sorry yes he has all the spices etc. After that it's £10.00 a week.

Cumin, coriander and turmeric?

He must have all those considering he is Indian. But that's like having salt, vinegar, tomato sauce , HP brown sauce and Colemans Mustard in the kitchen to us.
