SWMBO is in the kitchen again. I have been to check on (i) the menu and (ii) the progress.
I find she has cooked enough Basmati rice to feed half of Bangladesh and a minuscule amount of mushroom and chicken sauce which she hopes to spread around five of us. There is about a third of a pint of sauce. I have suggested that, next time she attempts this culinary masterpiece, she ought to reduce the rice by about a third and at least double the sauce. Basically I said "your ratios are all wrong". Harsh words were again spoken. Why does she think I did all the cooking in the pubs we ran or employed a chef to do it? The bloody woman cannot cook .... why does she insist on trying? Banghead

Maybe she wants to learn Snoop. Just a suggestion but get that Delia Smith cheat's cookbook. That should start her off fairly well.  whistle:

Perhaps if you had bothered to cook she wouldn't have started! But NOOOOOO! You wander in there five minutes before dishing up time and find fault with everything!

Fair dos then.  redface:

Although to be fair to her, I can cook and yet I still can't get rice amounts right. I always cook enough to feed the street.

She has an electric rice cooker and a measuring cup ~ how hard can it be?

Half a cup of uncooked Basmati is enough for anyone. It damn near trebles in size when cooked.

Shouldn't have a lot of rice with curry. That's what Nan Bread was invented for.
