Bought a simplycook kit to make chicken makhani. However once I started cooking I realised they didn’t send me the paste.
Does anybody know how to make makhani (butter) paste
I find YouTube is a goldmine for this sort of thing. You might want to search for Makhani gravy.

I have recreated the meal without the kit (because it was so tasty) a few times and just use tikka paste

Thank you both. Yeah I ended up googling it and just making the flavours with what I have. We’ll see what happens 😅
@HoGi good shout about tikka paste, normala I have some but will definitely try again with that.
I’ll let you know how it turns out!

For those that have gotten tattoos, what is the best thing to use for pain? I have a seriously crappy pain tolerance an it's what's put me off for years, I want a really small one on my wrist but I've heard that's one of the worst places for it, so is there anything out there that will help?

Some artists will refuse to tattoo if you use numbing cream, and in an area like a wrist I wouldn't risk it to be honest. For all the time it will take you'll get through it, just have something to eat and pop an Ibuprofen an hour beforehand you'll be grand.

Thanks, is there a reason they won't do it? Or it's a risk? Just out of curiosity, obvs this will be my first so I have no idea when it comes to tattoos an hoping the place is going be able to talk me through aftercare as well

I was just in a tattoo place the other day and the reasons they listed were things like, can affect ink and line quality, infection risk, can maybe cause involuntary movements etc. I've had wrist tattoos (and latterly wrist removals!!) with no numbing cream and been fine. I've also got a massive rib piece with no numbing cream. Honestly you'll be totally fine.

Thanks that's good to know, it's just going be 4 little pawprints from my dog, I have them on canvas an hope they can copy them, don't want or need them big, just something tiny for me but I was worrying because I've heard of how bad the wrist can be

I’m all for cheap so I’ll try that first. I also read they’re not keen on strong smells and I have some lavender bed spray that someone bought me that unsurprisingly I’ve never used so I may douse the area in that too!
Don’t use lavender around cats, it’s toxic to them.

You might find that you lose a lot of the detail of the paw print if you want it tiny, and it will just look like a generic paw print. Might be better to have just one at full size if you want it to remain looking like your dogs? I've only got one tattoo but I've been doing a lot of reading recently about my next one!

I have tiny paw print tattoos on my wrist, I wanted my dogs paw print as I thought I may as well if I'm getting paw prints. But they said if it's small they can't do a specific paw print as it won't work as the above poster said. I wasn't bothered about it being my dogs as I wanted just paw prints anyway so I still got it just as generic paw prints.

How does redundancy insurance work? Do you have to send proof you are looking for a new job whilst claiming on the insurance?

Has anyone tried Skechers sandals and do you know if they’re a narrow fit? I’m pregnant and in this heat my feet are quite swollen. I already have quite wide feet and keen to get some comfy flat sandals.

I have narrow feet and they are all too wide on me, hope that helps.

A guy called me a maneater back in January and every time they message me I feel hurt by it all over again
I have low self esteem and I am not proud of my promiscuous past.

The advice I'm seeking is how can I let go of this hurt?

You have to truly believe what they are saying is balls. That was old you. You've put work in to change and therefore their opinion is balls.

I'd also consider removing yourself from his orbit if you can. You don't need to be in contact with someone who makes you feel tit.
