Has anyone tried out this butter chicken sauce from Aldi?

I don't know if it's spicy because it has chilli powder listed in its ingredients.

Iโ€™d test drive it for you if I could! (I really miss mild Indian food)

But Aldi products get a lot of informal reviews so I recommend having a google around. I found some but not sure about etiquette of linking FB or the other place.

If youโ€™re not a spice fan and unsure whether youโ€™ll like it it might be better to make your own version to avoid ruining anything you put it on. Tinned tomatoes and spice packets are cheap. Or buy it and first try a smear on toast to avoid throwing out a meal.

Otherwise buy a tub of Greek yogurt to mix in or blend with some cheap fruit for a lassi. Yogurt and milk in general have a cooling effect because the fat insulates your mouth from the spicy oils, and Greek yogurt tends to be creamier and fattier.

If youโ€™re worried about it not being spicy enoughโ€ฆ I donโ€™t know, never had that problem but you can add heat.

I might try one bottle and see how it goes, I hope it's really mild as I don't like spicy foods.

Dog keeps peeing in the house. We have established that it's probably a separation anxiety or boredom thing, because he does it when no one's home. He has a dog door to go outside of. So he shall go on a longer walk and if that doesn't work then I'm not sure.

Every so often, ABC Classic sneaks some absolutely chaotic, almost avant-garde orchestral noise stuff in the middle of the work day and it makes the afternoon slump feel even more torturous and confusing. !@$&-!!!:&($-:($"'((?!??!

My hair has grown to that annoying length where it pokes me in the eyes. Too short to tie it all back without still having a mop at the front, and clipping it back... I need more clips than I possess due to it's wavy chaotic nature.

But I don't want to cut it, I want to grow it out longer, so here I am whinging lol

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago

Fringe whinge is real. There's nothing to do at this stage but tough it out, you can do it!
