Murgh makhani. It’s not just a random assortment of letters, but one of the most delicious things on the planet. Known more commonly as Butter Chicken, it’s a buttery, rich curry of mostly Punjabi origin that doesn’t date back nearly as far as you might think. The dish got its genesis at a famous eateryin Delhi in the 1950’s, and has gone on to be one of the more iconic curries on earth. Yum.
The chicken’s traditionally marinated in yoghurt and spices, and cooked in a Tandoor, before being served with a butter-laden, curry sauce – sometimes thickened with cashew paste, and garnished with coriander (or dhania, if you prefer the Indian names of herbs). Served with some rice and a flat bread of some sort (I’d favour a naan, but a Roti will do nicely) and you’ve got a meal fit for kings.

You do not bow knees to Judges, you answer questions to them posed by Advocates to you.

Stywe pap, good boerewors and chakalaka.
Then the pap left in the bottom of the black pot dries out as it is left on teh fire and I have some krummel pap, milk and kondensmelk for desert.
