regularly?
Thai green curry or a couple of kashmiri curry dishes that use black masala, and home made black masala rocks.

Or else proper lasagne (that's no tinned tomatos and half pork half veal) if I've got more time.

Is the kashmiri curry the one with the lychees?

Ahhh, coolio.
There is a well lush thai place near me that has just expanded their menu, really nice gardens, I go there with my ma' and uncle every couple of months. One of the new things on their menu was like an edible basket filled with a curry sauce with lychees and scallops, it was soo nice.

They do something weird though, and I'm not sure if it's a thai thing, but their Tempora is what the Japanese call Katsu.

Panko is amazing, I don't see the point in any other form of breadcrumb now.
I don't mean I don't see the point of any other kind of batter, but for breadcrumbed stuff, Panko is the way to go.

Does she do her own sauce?

she made her own panko
and made the sauce from scratch.

Kashmiri curries
tend to containing fruit and almonds both of which I cannot abide in a curry.

I think they work really well, but I can see why people don't like them.
I used to get a Korma with Passwari Nun, it's barely not a desert.

only when you buy them from curry houses who are being lazy, dear chap
it's just a spice style. Grated, you'll get more fruit in curries up there becuase it's a more staple part of the diet, but it's by no means set in stone.

I've never tasted one, I have to admit.

Most people are put off
because "chicken kashmir" just seems to be a korma with fruit in it. Best cookbook I ever got (well, ignoring Larousse and Leiths since you'll call me a fucking ponce) is a decent Indian one, explaining the regions and spices and styles.

I have a good one of those too
my massive collection of Carrier's Kitchen takes some beating though.

Madhur Jaffrey's Curry Bible is quite extensive.

This is probably my most prized cook book, excluding ma's ones that we share.

Do you add some sort of liver into your lasagnia?
I once saw someone do what looked like essenchally a fish pie, a luxoury one with scallops and prawns and lobseter, but with lasagnia instead of potato. Looked well lush.

God, I fucking love Lobster.

liver goes in meat lasagne for richness, yeah
but it's really about how long you cook the meat ragu for and how you do it.
