Keralan Veggie Curry with Poppadoms, Rice & Minty Yoghurt from Jamie's 15-Minute Meals

The dish itself, the flavours, at least how I made it, that's a solid four star rating - it was delicious! Everything else - the time management, the style of writing, the layout, - oh, and did I mention... read more >

Lime Curd and Pomegranate Tartelettes / Lime-curd-Granatapfeltörtchen : page 150

Very delicious! For the shortcrust pastry we used the recipe given in the glossary - unfortunately, the pastry went wrong slightly (see review there). Both the lime curd and the pomegranate pits were something in between sweet and sour, something I found deliciously refreshing.

We still had some lime curd over today, as well as some leftover dough from the Shortbread Cookies and the Ginger Hearts, so we used that dough to make the tartelets and fill with the lime curd - delicious, and soo easy!

Shortcrust Pastry / Süßer Mürbeteig : page 193

Basically a good recipe, but be very careful with adding water: most shortcrust pastries don't come together that easily, and then adding water seems to be the answer. However, hardly any water should be necessary, and adding even a bit too much won't do your dough any good. I'd try not to add any water at all, and if you have too, do so per teaspoon or so.
