    Have you ever had a look at the Perfect draft system Eddie?

    I'm quite tempted, seems to be a good selection of world beers at around £6 per litre, including Triple Karmeliet(sic).

    Big selection of Leffes I've not seen before too, I guess due to the takeover opening up new commercial channels, and a few Thornebridge beers too.

     

     

    I know a couple of people with these, and both very happy, often do good deals on short date kegs as well. Would invest myself but hardly touch a drop these days.?

    I can't match @froggg for his artistic presentation. 

    Just had my first attempt at making samosas. They don't look great (they're a bit tricky, and I'm an absolute novice at rolling pastry), but they sure were tasty...

    Method – dough

    • ·        Sieve flours into mixing bowl.
    • ·        Add salt and thyme, mix well.
    • ·        Mix in oil, working to incorporate using just fingers (3-4 minutes – should become like sand or crumbly gravel, when squeezed will hold shape)
    • ·        Slowly add water, mixing until a stiff dough is formed.
    • ·        Cover with damp cloth, leave for 30-40 minutes.

    Method – filling

    • ·        Parboil and roughly chop potatoes
    • ·        Fry onions until caramelised
    • ·        Add peas, continue frying for 2 or 3 minutes
    • ·        Fry keema/lamb 10 minutes until cooked
    • ·        Add chopped potatoes, stir, fry for 1 minute
    • ·        Add all spices with onions, potatoes and keema, mixing continually, fry for 5 minutes
    • ·        Set aside, leave to cool

    Method – constructing the samosas

    • ·        Divide dough into 5 equal balls
    • ·        Roll dough ball (keep others covered with damp cloth) into 6 or 7 inch oval/circle
    • ·        Cut in half
    • ·        Construct cones (use the straight edge of each half to form the seam)
    • ·        Fill samosa with meat/spice filling (2 or 3 dessert spoons – divide filling into 10)
    • ·        Glue together with flour/water
    • ·        Pinch edges to seal
    • ·        Repeat with other half
    • ·        Repeat with other dough balls (should now have 10 samosas)
    • ·        Lightly oil (vegetable/sunflower, not olive oil)
    • ·        Cook samosas (4 or 5at once) in air fryer for 10 minutes on low heat (160 C) – turn once
    • ·        Cook for a further 5-10 minutes on higher heat (190 C) to brown – turn once

    Sound great Eddie ?
