Put the split peas , turmeric and water into the pressure cooker and cook till it blows of steam once (whistles)
chop up the chilli and fry it up with the garlic and curry leaves.


add all of this to the pressure cooked split peas.
Serve it up with some rice and maybe a papadum/pickles.
You're done.

repairing the bike

 well I finally had a go at repairing the bike tubes.
I've got 700 x 19/23 and used a bike repair kit and when I had run out of the repair patches I used some of the rubber from a tube I had cut up.

I plan to blow them up to 100psi so we'll have to see what happens.

the photo shows the repair patch with backing left on/ with the bit of rubber from the old inner tube /with backing taken off.

I had saved up about 5 of the tubes that had been punctured and did them all in one go.

I'll use them up one by one and see how long the repairs last.
