Indian food at home - live chat with Meera Sodha (Mon 7 July 1-2pm)

I have plenty of Indian Cook books and love playing around with spices but my DH has been bringing home Pataks jars of sauce and even then adds mango chutney to it. I'm feeling he's trying to tell me something. What do you think of Pataks sauces or would you not touch them with a barge pole? And a second question if I may. I used to make a very good Brinjal chutney but lost the recipe. Is there a recipe for brinjal chutney in your book?

Our local huge Sainsbury's has curry leaves but the smaller one doesn't.

I love making and eating curries! Years ago an Indian friend ran cookery courses from which I learnt loads but I imagine that things will have changed a lot in the intervening 35 years. I also have an exceedingly greasy and bespattered Madhur Jaffrey book from around the same time. How do you cook differently from the older generation?

If I can ask another question, can you tell me if it is possible to make naan etc from a flour which is gluten free?

nannanet I'd change your guests if I were you!

Please tell where we can get curry leaves in UK fresh of course

I would love some ideas for indian dishes where I can use salmon. I would like to cook something a bit different for a dinner party at the end of July. One of the guests doesn't eat any meat. One will eat fish as long as it is salmon. And one doesn't like anything too creamy. Can you help? Thanks in advance
