Twenty Naans and a False Curry

To go with tonight's Meatballs I made 20  naan breads. They won't all be eaten of course, some will be carry forward to tomorrow's cold chicken and curried pasta salad.
I thought making them in bulk would make more sense. Something I'm not commonly known for !


I have guests tonight, the Hairy Bunch. And as I well know the youngest of them (14) can tuck away a huge amount of food so I might NOT have as many naans for tomorrow as first thought...
Still as long is everyone is happy.

The curried pasta salad is easy to make.

Boil some small pasta. Rinse in cold water. Put into a bowl.
Boil an egg or two till firm. Then chop. You can boil the egg with the pasta.
Chop half a pepper, a few spring onions, a red apple, a stick of celery and also put out a few sultanas.
Add all this to the cold pasta.
THEN...

Stir in a couple of tablespoons of mayo mixed with the same amount of Greek yoghurt. Mix well.
Then add a little spicy dressing..
Olive oil, black pepper, salt, curry powder, turmeric, garlic and lemon juice. 

Adjust all this to your taste.

We always have this salad with cold roast chicken. It is divine. Play around with ingredients. Sweetcorn is a nice addition likewise any dried fruits that take your fancy. Apricots are a favourite of mine, none used today on account of the few I had being used in a fruit loaf.

The other day I made a little curry.
Sausages, thin chipped potatoes, tomatoes and eggs. I called it my Full English Curry.
Mock ye not, as faux curries go, it was smashing.
