Tiger prawns from Costco and Leicester's Indian restaurants!


How do people manage work full time and sort out a healthy homecooked dinner and children's activities and social events and clean the house! Managed fine before I was married and the children arrived, now struggling and dont want to give in to pizza on a daily basis.....
This picture is raw tiger prawns from Costco, its around £7 for 13 and they are gorrrrgeous, I've loaded them with rechade masala here (my incapable phone camera makes it look pink) and they tasted divine.......lovely for when you have a few people over who dont mind using their fingers!





H's Father's Day present of sorts was a cricket match in Leicester, so off I went on a search for a good Indian restaurant, and my extensive research proved that yes, the proper Indian restaurants are much better in Leicester than Birmingham!!!!! Shock horror.
This pav bhaji was the best we've had outside Bombay, dead serious. Other than the chunk of butter in the middle. I've never got it spot on and dont know anyone who has.
This is from Indigo on the main restaurant road in Leicester and it was lovely for less than a fiver. Also had chaat (99% lovely) and a few other things. Highly recommend a visit there, or a bit of research on the many proper Indian places to eat (South Indian, Gujarati etc). Much better than the balti oily stuff that passes itself off as Indian cooking here anyway.
Wish one of them would open a branch here in Birmingham......anyway, going to India soon and very excited about it, then realise there has been very little shopping done until now, cue panic......
