Roasted Mackerel and poatoes in Curry spices

Found this recipe the other day, when looking on the internet for a different way to cook Mackerel.

I love curry. However as far as I am concerned Curry and fish do not mix, people talk about tandoori salmon, byt for me Salmon just has a too delicate flavour to be be ruined by Curry spices.

Then comes mackerel. I thought ok I will give it a go. Mackerel has a fairly robust flavour and I considered could take the hit. I was right.

The combinations of the oil fish and the fragrant spices of the the curry paste work together beatifully, creating a brilliant healthy dish, that is fairly cheap  and relatively quick.to cook.

The  dish is from BBC good food.co.uk and is well worth a go. I tend to vary the quantities, depending on how many people I am cooking for using around 1 potato per person and the same for the curry paste.

Agriculture finally comes out of winter

The last week or two has seen a big improvement in the weather and with that the tractors and sprayers have been out in full force on the North Downs, Surrey and Sussex, from Power harrowing, Ploughing, nitrogen spreading and Spraying.
