Veggie Rendang – the shucking and the photos

The shucking stuff

Tip your chick peas onto a shallow tray lined with kitchen roll. Add another layer of kitchen roll and move the kitchen roll using the flat of your hands for 30 seconds. Lift the kitchen roll and you'll see the outer husk of the chick pea comes away. You don't have to do this if you don't mind the husks – I think it's worth the effort and you can shuck whenever you have five minutes. This is all stuff that you can prep when it suits you.

It's academic anyway if you choose to use other veggies – the choice is yours!

The photo stuff

This curry really appeals to me – the ultimate in “feet up in front of a boxed set” food – a bowl of curry, bread and a spoon … what more could a girl want!
