All about 1 dish meal

Hi Funz


Thank you very much for the curry powder recipe. Appreciate your efforts. Yes, I have seen people bringing their spices to be ground at the mill shop in Serangoon Road. Each of them has their special recipes for their curry or sambar powder and they are a whole of a difference in flavour compared to the pre-mix powder sold in shops. I guess your mom appreciates curry enough to create her own private and special mix of powder. I will certainly try out the recipe you have recommended. :thankyou:

Hi mommylow,


I read your post about curry powder to Funz.

I purchase mine from the Indian stall selling spices in the wet market. It's freshly grinded. They also sell korma mix, chicken, fish and meat curry powder. The stall owner will also recommend what spices to use for what dishes.

Just sharing an alternative.

Hi autumnbronze


Yes, I have tried the curry mix at wet markets whereby the Indian/Malay lady mixes the curry paste on the spot for you. They too have their own special recipe and some are really good. However, you can only buy the curry mix in the wet form, not powder form which can be kept for a longer time. Anyway, my place does not have any curry mix stall and I have to get them at wet markets in other areas. That's why I prefer curry powder. Looking for one that really has that oomph! Thanks for sharing anyway.

You have any indian provision stores near your place? You can try this brand, Sakthi. I will say it is better than Babas.

Hi Funz,

I don't particularly like Babas. Think it's overrated. Not familiar with Sakthi but as an alternative I use House Brand. I will go and check out your recommendation next time

Babas is for convenience. And I was told, the ones from Msia actually tastes better than the ones we get in Singapore. Same Babas but somehow the proportions of spices may be different. Dunno how true is that. No chance to test that info.

I just make a variety of different stews - no recipes, but I vary the meat, the veggies and the sauces. My family is not fussy. You can use a basic bread dough recipe for pizza dough.

Hi slmkhoo, My kids are also not fussy eaters, only dh is.. :skeptical:
Usually i juz do a soup (winter melon, old cucumber, radish, etc) and fry a veg or meat..

Will try out the bread dough receipe. THANKS!

Anyone here do stock and keep in freezers?

I like the bread style of pizza...like Pizza Hut...but don't know how to get that...so buy this brand of thin crispy from supermarket. Tasty Bake.
Save a lot of work.
