I should have noted that I tried a MAKHANI and ROGHAN JOSH sauce the other day....and then I remembered learning about INDIAN cookery...garam masala...I didn't much like it...but apparently it was good for your stomach in small doses....

I had once cooked a meal with too much of it...awful...after that, I only used separate spices rather than a generic 'all of them together'...


secondly I remembered RIMINGTON saying 'MAKA-HANNI' as in HANNI GLOOR...I am uncertain as to why....but figure it must be related to that NIGHT GARDEN creature....

Is MAKHANI specifically to do with lentils then?

HANNI and the LEN-TILL....meaning Israel...


I can remember now...MAKKA PAKKA was ROBERTO CIPOLLA's more recent ill cult programming...SCARLETT and COLLIE had put the series together with the help of the satanic princesses....

Makka Pakka (played by Justyn Towler) is smaller and more round-bodied than any of the other costumed characters, with three rounded protuberances on his head (one on the top and one on each side), and is a creamy colour. He lives in a little cave and likes cleaning things, such as his collection of stacking stones, and sometimes the other characters themselves. Makka Pakka often stacks freshly cleaned stones into piles of three or sometimes more, rather resembling the protuberances on his head and body. He sleeps on a stone bed, often cuddling a smooth flat stone. He travels around the garden pushing his trolley, the Og-Pog. The Og-Pog carries Makka's sponge and soap, his orange trumpet, and a bellows-like apparatus called Uff-Uff which he uses to dry items after cleaning them. His house is approached by a stone-walled ditch, as his home is set half-buried in the ground. He says his own name and the phrase "Mikka makka moo" when he is happy, and also the names of the Og-Pog and the Uff-uff, and other phrases from his "song" such as "agga pang" (his soap and sponge), "hum dum" (his trumpet), and "ing ang oo". Like Upsy Daisy and the Tombliboos, he also uses a phrase meaning "goodbye", represented in publications as "pip pip onk onk." He was first featured in the episode "Makka Pakka Washes Faces". As Makka Pakka is smaller than the other characters, he is filmed on another identical set (or garden), and where he appears with other characters, two scenes are shot in parallel.
