hitchhiker, your palak paneer is a massive hit here at my parents' house. We've made about seven batches of it so far (two double batches and a triple).
_opus_ and bearly_here, your wine was a massive hit, too, and it's now gone. :-)
And my mom likes my asparagus soup. (My dad hates asparagus. More for meeeee, ha-haaa!)
AFTER doing the initial cooking? That might have been my problem when I made lamb/onion/mint kebabs; I tried to grind it extra fine BEFORE, and all it did was gum up the works. (I don't have a true meat grinder. I have a food processor. Not the right tool for the job to begin with.)
