Lovely!
Escousez moirez, but are the table tiles matching the floor tiles? If so we have exactly the same!! A bit of Med terracotta in grey Britland.
6 o'clock is the biggest. Hope you have a Zoji for the pilau.
Batch making curries and pasta source is what sensible people do!^

The tiles aren't an exact match but whilst out looking for a new kitchen table it looked very close so we bought it.
I take it you mean a rice cooker? I've thought about it but it would be just another gadget in my smallish kitchen, and I find it just as easy to do in a saucepan. The missus says my pilau is better than our local indian restaurant so that's good enough for me. I got my recipe from the forum below, it's the best one I've found and the forum itself is fantastic if you want to try serious Indian cookery at home. Some extremely dedicated curry heads!
