from Paris Express I learned to make these magical bites in savoury form from a friend who spreads his beignets with rouille and serves them with clams.

from Curry  One of my favourite recipes for cornbread. Choose the curry spice that best suits your heat level. The colour differences in curry spices are primarily due to the types of spices used: Yellow Curry: This curry is characterized by its golden yellow color from turmeric and other spices. It is milder in flavor compared to red and green curries,  making it suitable for those who prefer less heat.  Red Curry: Typically made with dried red chilies, giving it a vibrant red color. It is known for its rich, savory flavor and moderate spice level.  Green Curry: Made with fresh green chilies, resulting in a bright green color and a fresh, herbaceous flavor. It is often considered the hottest curry due to the  spiciness of the fresh chilies.  Ingredients 1 cup flour 1 cup cornmeal 2 tablespoons baking powder 1-2 teaspoons curry powder
