This is my new favourite curry! I recommend that if you havent tried this one yet - you give it a go soon and consider making it a day in advance as it tastes even better 24hrs later.  Made to spec using JB's base it was bang on BIR for me.  Goes well with a simple Indian salad.

just made this to spec... had no deggi mirch so used kashmiri powder instead.

All other ingredients and measures done exactly per the recipe.

found the use of a whole lime way over powering though. could probably use half.

chicken tikka dhansak... I polished it off but not sure if this is my thing

Found a carton of SR's Dhansak in the freezer and had it last night. A nice reminder of what a lovely dish it is, even from frozen.....I was worried that the lentils would turn into soup during the defrosting/reheating process, but they held up pretty well.

I told Mrs G it was quite a mild dish, but it was a bit spicy for the good lady ;)

Thought I'd give this thread a bump as made this tonight for the first time in ages, with some pre-cooked lamb.

Absolutely gorgeous  ;D

That sounds like a good idea Garp. I am cooking curry today and I think a Dhansak will make a nice choice, I have some chicken tikka marinating as I type . I've never had a Lamb dhansak I have to say. How do you precook your lamb?

All the best

Hi Rob. I use Panpot's method here http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,3922.msg35424.html#msg35424 but miss out the chilli (prefer to add it as required).

I'd always struggled with lamb but this produces consistently great results :)

Thanks for that Garp.  I will give that a go sometime. I've never made a curry with lamb so it's on my to do list.

All the best

Rob
