Chicken Curry Puffs
To keep pastry ends together, dip a finger in water and smear it on the edge and press the two pastry layers together. If you are doing a long roll, fold over one edge onto the filling, apply a bit of water and fold the other edge over the dampened edge. Then pierce gently, diagonally with fork tines to seal. After baking, immediately cut long roll into serving sizes. However, leaving one end slightly open will help the built-up steam escape out of the puff.

Indian Dahl with Spinach
You do need to cook gently all the spices in oil first - to make it easier on sensitive tummies. Then add the onions, etc. This method also makes the end result more aromatic. Certainly dahl spinach soup is soul warming on a cold day. :)

Best Ever Banana Bread
Suggestion: Add thin slices of banana to the top before baking for extra caramelised banana flavor and a great look! Wonderfully light textured, flavourful and lightly moist. I put in a teaspoon of baking powder plus 1/2 tsp of baking soda as I didn't want to taste any soda. I added 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder and half a cup of chopped walnuts. I used half cup of raw sugar + 1 tbs brown sugar and semi-melted butter.
