European Joke of the Day!

"Spliffs" are European joints that contain marijuana, tobacco & or spices.

... These three blokes are sitting in a room smoking pot. After a few joints they run out of cannabis, so one of the blokes stands up and says, "Look, we've got loads of tobacco - I'll just nip into the kitchen and make one of my speciality spliffs." So he goes into the kitchen, grabs some cardamom, peppercorns, ginger, saffron and a couple of other spices, grinds them up and then rolls them into a spliff.
Then he goes back into the other room and hands it to one of his smoking partners who lights it and takes a long drag. Within seconds he passes out. After ten minutes he's still out cold, so they decide to take him to hospital.
When they get there, he's wheeled away into Intensive Care. A few minutes later the doctor returns and asks, "So what was he doing then? Cannabis?"
"Well, sort of," replies one of the blokes. "But we ran out of gear, so I made a homemade spliff."
"Oh," says the doctor. "What did you put in it?"
"Um, a bit of  cardamom, peppercorns, ginger, saffron and a couple of other spices."
The doctor sighs. "Well, that explains it."
"Why, what's wrong with him?" asks the bloke.

"He's not in a coma, he's in a korma!"

Ha! Ha! Funny people, these Europeans!

What is Korma?

Korma is a mild creamy meat stew made with yogurt saffron and spices
From Akbarnama, it appears that Korma was created in the royal kitchen of Akbar during mid 1500s. It is surmised that Korma was a fusion of Persian and Indian Cuisine by Rajputs employed in the service of Jodhabai. Rajputs are credited with creating Murgh Musallam. Rajputs created Korma and named it after 'Kurma', a well known Rajput tribe. Most likely ingredients were: Mutton (boneless meat, and bone-in meat), Curd (Yogurt), Cardamom, Black Peppercorn, Ginger, and lots of Saffron. The almonds were soaked in water overnight, peeled and ground, and added to give it a thick creamy texture. Turmeric was rarely used in the royal kitchen to cook meat dishes. The meat is braised just like making Rogan Josh with little bit of water at a time on very low heat till the meat is tender.

Now you know.
