🤣 @tuikowhai34 - how true is that poem LOL! Since my dear hubby retired he is required to suggest and cook 3 dinners a week. After a few weeks when I thought it wasn't going to work he has turned into a decent cook. Nothing cordon bleu (but neither's mine) but sometimes new things are on the menu and it's just nice not having to think about it - plus it's lovely just sitting down with a G&T for the 6 o'clock news..

Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
One year at college I grew tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets with a few holes drilled in the side. I started them at my parents house over the summer then took them with me when I moved into the apartment that fall. When the frosts started I just moved them in and out each time until it got too cold. I was young and fit.. so shifting a few large plants twice a day wasn't bad.. especially with the handle to life from. They ended up being about five foot tall, as tall as my canes. Something like that might be a possibility for difficult weather locations. Especially if you have a conservatory for the first and last months of summer.
@philippasmith2 We have devoured the whole dish - it made about 9 pakora. I found them a bit bland. Maybe better with cauliflower and peppers & onion. The condiments made them. I had a look on BBC Good Food which is quite a good site but I found they used many ingredients. Ginger, chillies etc. Not very necessary. BTW: I substituted curry leaves for Madras Curry Powder. and threw in a handful of chopped coriander which I found in the freezer. Fresh would be better. Anyway, the French recipe is a basic pakora batter so i guess each household could add whatever their taste to it. So there's no more for tomorrow - back to the drawing board - sigh!

....in case your French is ok. Any problems, I will be happy to help. Instead of coriander chutney, I have made Tzatziki with cucumber garlic and mint and have a pot of home-made mango chutney as well.
Bon appétit!
