If you’ve only ever had that bright pink taram masala you buy from the supermarket, you’re in for a real surprise. It’s not pink cuz it shouldn’t be. Once you’ve tried making your own, there is absolutely no going back. Here is some bread. It’s stale bread. I’ve taken the crust off it. And then we’re just going to soak it in some water. And there’s 200 gram there. I will put all the details and quantities down below in the description as always. Anyway, and then here is your all important smoked cods row. There’s one thing we need to do with this first, and that’s to remove this outer sort of membrane. I probably should have done this before I started recording. It would have been a lot easier, wouldn’t it? Okay, so that’s our prep pretty much done. I’ve got a food processor. And here I’ve got an onion. It’s a red onion, a really small red onion. So, if you’re using a large one, just use like a quarter. And I’ve grated it. And that’s going to go into our food processor. And then to that, we’re going to add lemon juice. That’s the juice of two lemons. Okay, that’s good. And now we’re going to add in our pods row. So, just drop it in the top. Okay, let’s just have a little look at this. Yeah, that’s looking good. Back to our bread. And you want to squeeze this out. All of that excess water. If you find it easier, put it into like a kitchen roll or a bit of uh or a tea towel or something like that. That’s it. Get your lid back on and blitz again. Here I’ve got extra virgin olive oil and I’ve got 300 ml here. And we’re going to just gradually add this into our blender. Last bit in. Hopefully you’re going to be able to see that consistency. Bring it up for you. Look at that. Wow. Chop these up. And then I like to just sort of scatter these around and about. Nice. There’s a little sharing platter. Just put it in the middle of the table. So, there we have it. My traditional taramasala made in minutes. Let’s have a little dip in. See what it’s like. That is so so delicious. That’s better than anything you’re going to buy from a supermarket for sure. And I think visually more appealing as well. I never like the pink one. And all that’s left for me to say is until next time, it’s cooking
