World's Best Scones! From Scotland to the Savoy to the U.S.
Absolutely delicious! I combined advice/alterations from several reviewers, and tinkered with the recipe a bit. I used light sour cream instead of regular sour cream and evaporated skim milk instead of regular milk. I froze the butter, grated it, then tossed it in the rest of the dry ingredients, instead of using a pastry blender. I also substituted dried cranberries (heated in orange juice then cooled and drained) for the raisins/currants, and added the zest of 1/2 of a large orange to the dry ingredients. Finally, I sprinkled sugar over the egg wash before baking, and drizzled cooled scones with a glaze made from icing sugar, freshly squeezed orange juice, and the zest from the other 1/2 of the orange. The scones were delicious at room temperature, topped with butter and homemade strawberry jam.

Indian Chapati Bread
We made this to go with the gobi aloo recipe on this site. The recipe worked very well - I followed the recommendations to roll each piece into a rope, oiling it, and coiling it into a ball before rolling it flat with the rolling pin. I also let the dough sit for about 20 min. before cooking. I found that medium high heat (as recommended by another reviewer) was too high, and the vegetable oil burned onto the pan and was difficult to clean off. Medium heat or slightly below seemed to be hot enough, and the chapatis puffed up a little. I'll make this recipe again, but I may let the dough rest longer before cooking. Overall, very tasty and easy!

Gobi Aloo (Indian Style Cauliflower with Potatoes)
This was pretty good - I made it as a side for a butter chicken dish. I didn't have whole cumin seeds on hand, so I added just under a teaspoon of ground cumin instead (in addition to the other ground cumin called for in the recipe). I also added a can of corn kernels when I added the cauliflower, which was really good. I had to add water during the cooking process to keep it from drying out. The potatoes didn't seem to absorb any flavor - maybe this was because I used baby potatoes. Overall though, very tasty combination of spices!
