Not sure about Biryani, but I can make damn good curry (by chance sometimes) with boiled rice!

Get time and venue and Dr Derv shall be delighted to show his prowess with Culinery skills ;)

Or maybe not, havent done that in months :(

Why does 'ball curry' stick in my mind? :o
Why, because I was reading stuff from Derv, of course.

OK, anyone out there willing to host a potluck?
With any luck, Derv will show up with a nice pot of his doctored curry.

Ok Guys, posting picttures is not good enough in this instance.
We need someone to taste and then score what you bake/cook. I mean I can volunteer to do that, so everytime you cook, you can invite me over for the Tasting :D
Some of the dishes look Exceedingly good!!!

You guys are amazing, all the pictures are so nice and look like from professional cooks. I take my hat off to you all. Now, let's talk about the tasting contest, I can volunteer too :D

Steamed glutinous rice (you may sub 'dried prawns' with cubes of chicken meat):

If you don't care to steam stuff, you can first fry the presoaked raw rice in a bit of oil, then add a bit of water (or stew sauce combination) to achieve your desired consistency or 'al dente'ness. :o Cooked covered on low heat for about 15 minutes till done.

This is Sticky Mango Rice dessert - you may omit the screwpine leaves and grated coconut:

Thank you for those, not sure sure if I am game to try such things (as in the savoury recipe). I just thought the balls looked like something I should eat once in my life
It appears that I have lead a deprived life, as I can't say what my desired consistency might be,,, I've never had it before you see :msnsad:
And three, I have no idea why those numbers are showing up!? I can't even delete them, oh brother!!

Now, if I can workout how to add a photo or two, I'll show you a few of my latest creations!!

Not the greatest photos but they are either vanilla or chocolate cakes, with raspberry or vanilla buttercream filling and fondant decorations.

That looks truly appetizing - is it noodles with Swiss chard and something else?

noodles; yes, but furthermore a very basic italian Ragu with a large load of parsley and celery (as it isn't going to be used in the coming days, and i LOVE it when it is fresh) and then of course freshly grated parmegiano

Ok, so i said that i would join this thread. then let's see how long/far i can continue this. as it hopefully will push me as well to try new things and extend the range food photography with a stupid limited compact camera(let's try to squeeze as much as possible out of it).

for now two more dinners to add.
- A nice couscous steeped in chicken broth with harissa and at the last moment mixed with pomegranate seeds, coriander and lemon zest and juice, and of course two merquez sausages
- creamy leek with noodles and pork filet slices

Here's the link to that recipe (in German); I'll put a translation on the blog if requested.

I'd love to get this recipe in English if you have time - sounds fantastic:msngrin:

I realize I'm technically disqualified, as this wasn't baked in CH, but here's a Zopf I made last night (before it went under the knife):
