Gawd, that all sounds fabulous! The carmelized figs, especially! It inspired me to go Indian as I cooked today, and I think it'll work out - I hadn't put whole coriander in anything for a long time and had forgotten what a pleasure it can be.

Carmelized figs. I'm gonna have to try that some time. This sounds like a good bit of work, but delicious! I hope it was well received!
