First Attempt

I did the Sheek Kebabs in foil but I think they would have looked better if they had been grilled. That said they were really nice and I'll certainly do them again.

I made enough curry for 6 massive portions in my new pan. I doubled the ingredients and when I tasted it it was very hot, more than I'm normally used to with Ceylon so I ended up with 9 ladles of base in, in an attempt to cool it down a bit. The missus who likes hers a bit hotter thought it was lovely as did the daughter. It definitely was as good as any takeaway one I've had.

 I served it with plain cooked basmati with a bit colouring in done in one of our 20 odd year old trusty rice cookers.

Tomorrows effort will be a traditional style Biriani with a vegetable sauce.

Photos are curry simmering in pan, sheek kebab and plated curry. Apologies for the slight blur as they were taken on my phone.

I was looking at the skewers today in the Indian shop I've been using. Might be my next purchase.

Not that I would get one of course but I would probably get it off my head of the missus if one crossed the doorstep. At least with a set of skewers its a fair fight.  ;)

Get 8 skewers. Makes sense.  4 each also = fair fight  ;)

Joking aside I ended up getting 4 more as 8 is just right.

You could just grill them like a sausage without the need for skewers.  ;)
