What's for dinner, Josephine?
-
It will be an authentic KD1 Chicken Madras with microwave-cooked pulao, shop-bought chapati & papads, accompanied by red onion salad and an assorted of Mr Patak's finest pickles. Washed down by a Clausthaler Extra Herb of course. Pictures later if I remember.

If there was a like button Phil it would have be clicked mate
Up the pics!
best, Rich

For me tonight it's going to be something similar to this, only the one that I will be eating will have chillies on.

Rich
Cooked a batch of Tikka Chicken yesterday.
Monday, always a good day for fresh chillis, peppers and other fresh veggies.
So tonight I'll be cooking a favourite, Tikka Chicken Waga Naga.
Probably served with plain boiled Basmati and Roti.
cheers Chewy

One of these from the juicer round the corner.

Juicer? Got any egg shell in it??? ;) :D

No shell just an egg in the middle.
-
On a more serious note though wot is a 'juicer' exactly? That looks like rather good quality pizza.
-
The juicer is slang for the pub.
London.
-
Must be south london slang then :P well done with that though, tasty an colourful :)
-
Tuesday night must be pizza night!
-
That's why I stopped trying to make pizza at home - too many biscuit bases, mate.
Anyway, quiche, salad and chips for me :)
-
For me tonight its an attempt at this.

From the woks of life blog which I think Rich originally posted about. Some nice recipes on there.
Anyway, couldn't for some reason get dried shrimps and i added a few peas and a few chilli flakes.

That was option 2 today whilst drooling at the char sui pork at the Chinese cash and carry. :)

What I love about my fellow croers is that even when doing any other recipe they still manage to add green/red chilli or some chilli powder to it ;D

I see your finger is on the pulse Gav ;) ;D
Fine dining for all of you tonight then, compared to my supper. Two masala poppadums and a couple of Morrisons mini sausage rolls hardly cut it on this site, do they :( I could have had the remains of my TA vindaloo but i'm saving it for later. Purchased of course purely for research purposes ;D ;D

Tonights Dinner Josephine
Tikka Chicken Waga Naga 2015 one of my favourite Jhal curries.
Not bad for a Tuesday pet ;D ;D
Hot and Spicy, with crunchy fresh peppers, chillis and flavour bomb plumb tomatoes

So much sex on so many plates :P :P ;D I'm getting in the mood for curry ::)
-
Eh Chewy - awesome mate - like the colours
Made me smile at first never had a waga naga - sounded like slang for a horse wagging its tail
best, Rich
-
Hoho, Chewy! You fair know how to titillate the taste buds! Those look like chunky pieces of breast lurking under that silky sauce. Your cherry tomatoes look hot and juicy too. A drop of that curry with the roti right now would certainly spin my farthing! :)
-
;D ;D Yep, a catchy name Rich, its a regional UK dish, so not suprised you haven't tried one.
Pran Naga, certainly gets everything wagging ;D ;D
cheers Chewy
-
I'm not sure about those Flavor bombs as you call them chewy, they look a little out of place to me! Did you ramp up the saturation on the image? that's one red looking Wag Naga masala.
Nice looking Naan in the background though.
Cheers LC
-
The cherry plum tomatoes for me have been my choice of tomato for a curry for a while now followed by the on the vine ones. I find the plain dutch tomatoes flavourless and also now feel that the plain cherry tomatoes are going the same way.

iPhone pics, what you see is what you get, no edit needed.
Jhal curries are red, due to the Jhal mix. (Red Masala Sauce)
Roti, not Naan.
Cherry plum tomatoes out of place, what are you talking about, please explain yourself?
cheers Chewy
Good looking broccoli Rob ;)

It will be an authentic KD1 Chicken Madras with microwave-cooked pulao, shop-bought chapati & papads, accompanied by red onion salad and an assorted of Mr Patak's finest pickles. Washed down by a Clausthaler Extra Herb of course. Pictures later if I remember.
So I forgot it was a bowls match last night. As a result, I had no time to cook pulao rice, so made a simple KD1 Chicken Madras which I served with red onion salad, assorted pickles and a Clausthaler :
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-OcakpR6yRNk/VSV_Tc2Li-I/AAAAAAAATrI/9YHn8Pw2PTI/s720/8J5A9872.jpg)
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-SEjgnq7I6IA/VSV_UShhdMI/AAAAAAAATrQ/TMshxXPmQg4/s720/8J5A9877.jpg)
It was OK,but KD's garam masala was too predominant, so when I repeated the exercise this evening I swapped the proportions of garam masala and ground fenugreek, and there is no doubt in my mind that this led to a far better curry. The remainder of yesterday's sauce I re-cycled into an egg curry, and as the edge had been taken off the garam masala by time, it too was quite pleasant. Here are the various elements :
1) Microwave pulao :
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ubfSTcRhw8w/VSV_VI_NwsI/AAAAAAAATrY/wh3zylZIvl8/s720/8J5A9879.jpg)

The kebab looks like a swiss roll!
Wonder can it be replicated? As not sure it's known down here (i.e. anywhere outside B19 ;) )
>>>Clashed with Phil's post there. Great photos and a very professional tasy looking meal.
-
What a great thread. Theres some tasty looking stuff appearing.
-
Bloody good effort there Phil
Looks all top notch
Is bloody ok :-\
-
What a great thread. Theres some tasty looking stuff appearing.
Yeah Gav - a shit-load of curries though. Don't you ladies ever eat anything else? ;)
-
I try not to eat anything else but my missus usually scuppers my plans. Always have a Plan B though. ;)
-
Always have a Plan B though. ;)
Is that an early fore-runner of G-plan ?
-
Well shit-the-bed Phil, you actually can cook worth a damn! Who knew?!
-
I would eat curry every night but again my Mrs wouldn't have it. Do love a good Szechuan stir fry or Arrabiatta pasta with meatballs
-
I'll give my missus her due and nearly every meal we have has chili in of some sort. :)
-
Well shit-the-bed Phil, you actually can cook worth a damn! Who knew?!
I was thinking the same thing Sverige. I think that may be the first curry pic I've seen from Sir Alex since I joined. And yes, the old bugger made a decent looking dish ;)
-
Missed Phil's pics then !
Great looking food Phil, you should post curry porn more often :)
-
Phil, top effort there and a good looking classic dish ;) keep them coming.
-
I'd certainly demolish a bowl of it Phil, but may have to up the number of fresh chillis though ::)
-
Well done for joining in ;) even if it is the old KD stuff again.
-
Great idea for starting this thread Rich.
Here's my dinner, Chicken Madras...
-
Half-decent looking curry Phil. No where near enough madras floc or oil, but I'll let you off. Keep up the good work.
Rob :)
-
If you had beef instead of chicken rs, that would look like the madras my mother used to make in the early 70's. Being only about 10 and of a delicate palate I used to annoy her by putting tomato sauce on it cos it was to hot. ::)
-
It's good to see a positive on topic curry related thread. Who's next to post good grub :P
-
Nice to see Phil - great looking mate - Nice one....i could have a go at that!
Well done Rich - great pics
Hey Garp - I fancy steak and kidney pie with chips and beans tonight...i rendered down a lot of pork fat the other day got some great pure lard in the fridge...
best, Rich
-
Just had to top it with an egg

Steak and Kidney pie, chips, beans and an egg
-
Oohhh, I /love/ the fat glistening on those chips ... None of your woosy "oven cooked" chips there, I'm delighted to see :)
** Phil.
-
It built an empire!
-
I've just had to moderate my reply Rich :o ;D Er, one word really, YUM. Good go that plateful right now. I'll just have to make do with my vindaloo leftovers tonight instead :(
-
Just what we all want a nice bit of comfort food

Tonight's dinner for two.
Popadoms.
Coriander and Chilli fried Pilau rice.
Spice Fried Pilau Rice,
Chicken Korma, cream left on top not mixed, don't ask wife likes it this way ;)
Chicken Phall.
All The flavour is there,very delicious indeed.
Washed down with ice cold Kingfisher ;D ;D ;D
Slight contrast boost to photo.
-
Oh! That looks bloody marvellous, LC! I just finished commenting and complimenting loveitspicy on his recent Chicken, Ginger and Spring Onion and now this. What a spread. Nice one! :)
-
That's some lovely looking food there Littlechilie, and I'm trying not to think about curry too much as I have a curry night on Saturday.
-
Yum ;D
-
Tonight a good hearty lasagne Verdi with a layered topping of potato slices with cheese sauce within, because, well why the hell not?!! Tasted even better than it looked. ;)
-
That looks perfect comfort food to me Sverige. :)
And just noticed the Pie and Chips and LC's curries. :P :P
-
Great thread more lovely comfort food ;)
-
Missed littlechillies
Mouth watering pictures :P
-
Nice one Sverige. Looks lovely.
And no, it's not 'comfort food' ladies, it's just food.
-
Shut up garp you poof ;D
Just had a large gin
-
That looks perfect comfort food to me Sverige. :)
And just noticed the Pie and Chips and LC's curries. :P :P
That pie and chips looks cracking, eh Gav? Don't forget the eggs either. The eggs look lush! :)
-
That's quite bad, Gav.
'Poof', I would suggest, is a word worse than any swear word posted on here.
-
You had a drink as well? I just said 'comfort food'..... but you may have a point.
Regardless, I've had my tea and I'm getting the munchies looking at all the good grub posted.
-
:D
I got away with that one
Gav don't be rude ;D
-
All, I know you're not used to a thread staying on topic for so long, but can we at least keep this one on the rails please ;) And please no insults , hair pulling, sratching, name calling, hand bags or anything of that ilk. Would make a pleasant change to have a thread on just food (comfort food, which i believe in, if you prefer) and nothing else but food. Thank you :) Now i must go and put my vindaloo on :P :P

We need 'Thumbs-Up'/Thumbs-Down' voting buttons on this form!
I 'Thumbs-Up' MA's Toast with Alphabetti Spaghetti! :)
Not sure about those peas on bread, though, Gav!!! :)
-
Is that retirement food :)
That's horrible :)
-
Chicken pie, from a packet! And a beer. Looking forward to Saturday night for my next curry night. 2 heat level of Dhansak, chicken and meat vindaloos, veg korma and butter chicken. Chicken tikka sizzler for starters and onion bhaji, mushroom fried rice and pillau rice with the mains. Lemon Posset for dessert..........oh roll on Saturday!!!
-
Tomorrow will be roast guinea fowl :)
** Phil.
-
I would like a like button for liking likey things then I would like all the food I already liked in a post that George deleted which I didn't like so maybe a dis-like button for all the posts you don't like too
Anyway, lc your curries and rice dishes looked great, again, curry pornography I like
-
Just finished my vindaloo so i'm stuffed :D
Are you sure about them peas Gav :o :o ;D Me vindaloo nearly came straight back up again :-\
And you're so creative with that spaghetti MA ;D ;D
-
Andy - I love the on toast pic great stuff
Come on guys get the camera thingy's out and up some snaps
best, Rich

Butter Paneer
OK I make 160 kilos of Paneer every 2 weeks
-
Never ever tried paneer, but after seeing that, I must give it ago. As far as I can remember, it's easy enough to make at home - must look out a recipe.
-
Mmmm
my wife's favourite :)
-
Love the look of the paneer Rich, curry not to my taste but looks great all the same.
Do you have a recipe up for the paneer and what spices you cooked it in?
I'll trade for my alphabet spaghetti recipe ;)
-
Hi Rich, that's some good looking Paneer you have going on, trying new things often pays off.
-
I just can't seem to shift my pizza craving this week
-
Green chillis again I see!
Thankfully the missus is off her diet tomorrow, so I can actually cook something resembling food.
-
Ha, yeah.. I'm addicted to a bit of chilli burn on pizzas. Seems just wrong to serve up a mild one. Bit like curries
-
I just can't seem to shift my pizza craving this week
Why not have one then mate? ;)

Friday is usually curry night, but I've postponed it until Saturday this week.

Good looking dish here Naga, maybe a drizzle of orange sauce reduction would finish if of for me.
-
Good thinking, LC. A honey and mustard sauce for me :)
-
Roast stuffed guinea fowl served with roast King Edwards, red pepper & spring onion, and bread sauce.
** Phil.
-
Wot no gravy Phil? Do you parboil your roasties?
-
The gravy was out of camera shot (intentionally, as was the bread sauce dish, wine, etc). And yes, the King Edwards were boiled for five minutes in salted water, then drained, dredged with a little Knorr chicken stock powder (oriental), given a good shake, and then the hot fat that had been heating in the cast-iron casserole poured all over them. Then they were arranged in the casserole to leave room for the bird, the bird added, the bird dredged with hot oil using a basting syringe, the breast covered in a little foil, the lid put on the casserole dish and the whole cooked at 160C for 1H00 (fan oven). Then the foil removed, the potatoes turned, and a further 20 minutes. The gravy was made from the raw carcase of a large corn-fed free-range hen that I had just jointed and frozen to which I added two Knorr chicken stock pots and some otherwise unneeded spring onions (the last only after the stock had been removed from the heat).
** Phil.
-
Nice one Phil, though I don't like bread sauce :)
Two questions:
1/ Did you really get all that stuffing into a guinea fowl?
2/ Did the local crematorium deliver the roasties or did you have to pick them up?
-
1/ Did you really get all that stuffing into a guinea fowl?
That and a fair bit more; there's still some inside.
2/ Did the local crematorium deliver the roasties or did you have to pick them up?
They may look overdone but they were beautifully crisp on the outside and soft/floury in the middle. This, as I have discovered, is the great beauty of roasting in a cast-iron casserole with lid -- it retains all the moisture, yet still allows the outside to crisp beautifully. I can put one in the post to you if you like (potato, that is, not cast-iron casserole, unless you remit the postage costs in advance !).
** Phil.
-
Yeah, go for it, mate :)

Looking Good Phil, I have not had a good roast dinner for weeks.
Now I really need to eat some food today! Looks like a Tuna jacket is heading my way tonight! Soon I hope ???
-
Looking Good Phil, I have not had a good roast dinner for weeks.
It's a long while since I cooked one; my eating pattern is usually dictated by whatever Mr Waitrose is remaindering when I go there, and this week it was one guinea fowl and one large free-range corn-fed hen. My previous "roast" was Chinese roast crispy pork :
-
given a good shake, and then the hot fat that had been heating in the cast-iron casserole poured all over them.
If I may ask, what kind of fat Phil? I believe certain hard fats are better for roasties than unsaturated liquid fats, non?
-
Oh, beef dripping; I never cook in anything else when I am cooking English food. Except pancakes -- I cook those in lard.

Reassuringly un-PC. Like it Phil

I am afraid my diet would drive most nutritionists to drink. Strong real coffee with two brown sugars and full-fat Jersey cream (two or more cups a day); 4% BF milk; cook in dripping and lard; fry chips, not oven bake; eat white bread; add salt to everything; etc. But I'm still alive (I think).

You're not alive Phil you're just well preserved by all that salt and fat and sugar. ;D
-
Looking good Phil. But why would you want to ruin good food by dredging it in Knorr powder? Salt isn't an exotic herb you know..
-
A little Knorr oriental chicken stock powder sprinkled onto par-boiled potatoes before roasting can lift them to a whole new level, in my (humble) opinion ... and desert (which I've just eaten, after stuffing the dish washer) was ice-cold Victoria plum compote :
-
You're not alive Phil you're just well preserved by all that salt and fat and sugar. ;D
Maybe. I forgot to add "all soft drinks (e.g., Mr Waitrose's Cloudy Lemonade) sweetened with real sugar, not ghastly synthetic sweeteners ...".

Had a little play with my My Vindaloo (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,13087.msg106999.html#msg106999) last night.
I used 3 dried superhots (half of each) instead of normal dried chillies
In place of chilli paste I used LC's habanero chilli powder with garlic
And in place of the vinegar I used tamarind.
Worked a treat proper lip burning heaven, tasty as, and moreish as hell.
The heat was a slow building one but once peaked was amazingly hot, but never burnt too much because of the slow build up you adjusted to the heat as you ate.
Id give it a 9.5/10 :)

Plain and simple no meat in just the Chinese sauce with the onions and peas on homemade chips with some bread and butter. Washed down with a pot of tea.

Not so slender build unfortunately but I will have a few guests helping me out with the eating part although I cannot say if any of us will get to dessert. ;D

It's not big and it's not clever, but sometimes it's just what you fancy. Cheese and onion quiche and chewy chips tonight, with a highbrow sauce acompliment from my German mate Heinz.
I'm no quiche expert but managed to knock this up in just 10 mins of prep time & 25 mins bake time earlier, with 25g butter, 50g self raising, half a small onion, bit 'o cheddar, just one egg and 50g of yoghurt and the odd dash of salt and pepper. Was sceptical but the yoghurt worked fine as a milk/cream substitute and if anything helped the flavour along, but the onion and cheese led the dance.
I don't want to cause any anxiety to Fried, but there were no green chillies participating...
-
Love a Chinese curry and chips from time to time Rich, always needs modding with some chilli products though ;)
-
And tonight's dinner was ...
... leftover roast guinea fowl with all the trimmings ! One minute in the microwave oven, and almost as good as yesterday's.

The missus is off her fad diet and cooked me something!
Heart cooked Turkish style with onions, tomato, garlic, green chilli (of course), parsley with pommes de terre rissol?es (French for small chips)
Lovely!
-
Hearts ! Oh I love hearts. Sheep's hearts, pigs' hearts, even ox heart (I prefer the first two) but what a wonderful meal they all make. I normally stuff sheep's hearts and then cook them as a casserole, but occasionally for a change will just stuff and roast them. Aways used to cook them in Madeira sauce, but the packet version has disappeared and I can rarely be bothered to make my own, so these days I tend to substitute German J

Garp's naan bears a more than superficial resemblance to a photograph that I took of a black cat sleeping on the bedroom floor :

I'll write it on my forehead backwards so I'm reminded everytime I look in the mirror. ;D ;D
So its a 'Well Fired Naan' :) . I had a 'Lead Naan' once in Blairgowrie in the mid 80's along with a curry which is still on my worst currys list.
-
Blairgowrie? Well, no wonder - you were in Fruit-Scone-and-Jam territory! A wee bit further north-east and you were almost in glorious buttery/rowie country. Ah, the buttery! Scotland's answer to the croissant! :)

It could be one of those new licorice naans
Well done Garp

-
Phil I thought you were quicker than that :)
We was taught how to skin it
So to season underneath the skin then score the skin flat on the table
Then put the skin back on and and tied with a butcher's knot ;)
His tip for crackling was forget about vinegars or pouring boiling water on the skin
Just leave to dry in the fridge for a day score it rub with salt leave for a while then wipe of the moisture drawn from the salt
Then resalt again

Foul ! Anyhow, it /is/ very early in the morning (for me) ...

Agree with all that, but the pork-stabber that I recently bought (multi-tine, spring-loaded) also seems to make a considerable difference, and I cannot imagine successfully making Chinese crispy belly of pork without one.

Sainsburys chili pork sausages in Warburtons toast with a drizzle of tomato ketchup, a scraping of Moutarde de Dijon and topped with some sliced leek and mushrooms pan fried in some butter with a touch huile de olive. Served with a few pan fried baby plum tomatoes and a mug of Whittards coffee in my favourite mug
MMMmmmm Sunday mornings.
Looks the business, Gav! I do like sausage, sauce and Dijon. Fair knocked my daily bowl of porridge into a cocked haggis! :)

Looks lovely, Gav. Certainly better than my three cups of coffee and ten Embassy Regal ;)

Couldn't let Sunday pass without a roast. First though to continue to scratch the itch, I had to knock up a cheese, onion and pepperoni quiche for an appetiser, with a small splash of Worcester sauce in the prefried onions, which lifted the final dish somewhat.
Then Sunday roast, what else could I do? Sorry for the shitty iPhone pics. Tasted better than it looked I promise. Roast beef, roast onion, Yorkies and roast potatoes just live well together on a plate.
-
Now that's a light lunch!!! ;)
Looks great :)
-
Haha Sunday dinner only comes once a week. Pig out is my motto!
-
Mind you, you're getting me intersted in quiches too now!
-
Brought 2 kilos of lamb mince and tried the Donna keebab spice mix I brought online
With the leftover mince made a Keema
Verdict
If you like donna keebabs it's worth ago 9 out 10 for taste
Mind you I was sober
The alcohol might be the missing 10% :( have to try a bit later
And I still have a clean shirt

Yeah, and remember to take it to the top deck of the night bus :D

Looks awesome Micky, can almost taste it :)

Update, Well I finally got my tea Josephine and the curry's were lush. The Beef Rezala (mildest of the 4 but lots of flavour) seemed to be the family pick. Served with some SP Pilau which was nice.
I'm now sitting typing this with my bottle of wine and as a good friend used to say... I'm as full as a bulls [moderated] (and twice as pretty) The bracketed bit being added by another friend. :)

Sounds like a cracking day, Gav! Those curries look splendiferous! I could dive in with a naan or some rotis right now.
Good effort from everyone else too, although I'm not too sure about CH's crumpets and Marmite...
I was treated to a traditional English Sunday Lunch with all the trimmings yesterday afternoon. I'm not used to these huge feasts in the afternoon and I could hardly move from the couch last night! No photos, I'm afraid, as my hosts would most likely have thought I had lost the plot completely! :)

Was going to be Rich's Tuna dish but the missus bowled in last night with some left over poached salmon from the rugby club, so I had it for my lunch with a warm potato salad and some sweetcorn.

Well it finally got cooked
Lovely bit of free range pork
And the crackling perfect
Being a fatty dish I lighten it up with a red cabbage coleslaw with finely sliced granny smiths apple added to cut through the fattiness
I appreciate it but the rest of the family had roast potatoes as well ( I'm trying to cut out a few carbs ::) )

That looks great meat, and a lovely bit a crackling too!

Nothing wrong with that at all except that I always want four rounds!!! ::) :-X
I thought I would want at least two, but I was wrong -- I was full after the first one. I had completely forgotten that I had already eaten lunch today, in Benenden. Now I have a spare slice of toast, and no appetite with which to eat it ...
Problem solved : I had the second slice for dessert, with Cooper's Oxford Marmalade :)

Hi
All the food pictures in this thread look delicious, but Loveitspicey, that "Double Shami Lamb kebab burger" looks glorious 8)
I would have to have a large helping of Helmans mayonaise with it though!

That's one helluva burger mate - great stuff :)

A Mahatma of burgers indeed :D
That mayo sounds good, give it a bit of zip?
-
Also cooked 3 of these
-
I would very much like to know how you did that pork belly.
-
Livo in a little broiler oven covered in tin foil cooked for about 35 mins at 200 then turned over and cooked for another 35 mins.
However the most important bit mate - last night it was scored up and salt and pepper rubbed on - nothing else - before wrapping in tin foil and put in the fridge
After roasting - put a little oil in a pan (little) and heat to medium hot and put the joint in skin side down and the skin will crisp in seconds - you can turn it on all sides as well if you want to - take out let stand -
Really simple way to get the best out of it
Hope this helps you wont be disappointed doing this way
alternatively you can just cook in an oven for 40 mins and take the foil off and cook for 30 mins all depends on the size of the belly pork - but all these folks that say I GET THE PERFECT ROAST BELLY in just an oven are very few - this way is certain to get succulent roast meat and a crispy top
best, Rich
-
Thanks. I just put a brand new double multifunction oven in my wall about a month ago. One full size and one small Oven / Grill. What you guys call a broiler we call a grill, but I get the idea. That pork looks absolutely delicious.

Nah mate i look in about 2 times however 4 times max and the other member is on hol at the mo and has only looked in a couple of times - i can confirm

I'm not having a go mate, because the pics have been great. But if you look in two times, is that per day/week/hour?
You have posted many pics too (all good) but all adding to the total reads :)

Another bowls match this evening (two in one day), so another simple meal with leftovers -- pulao rice with red onion salad and assorted Patak's pickles.

Delicious looking grub Rich. Also had Thai... Stir Fried Chicken/Basil + Rice... for lunch at a surprise find Roadside Burger Van on the A56 of all places. Thai woman who runs it, each day sells a couple of Thai dishes (freshly cooked in front of you), or the usual sausage/bacon/burger baps.

Double Shami Lamb kebab burger with a Mango yoghurt and mint dressing, Mayo and lime dressing, onion tomato riata, topped with two onion bhaji rings and a bit of side salad...

Part of last nights dinner was 2 versions of Chicken 65. Here's the one the kids preferred. Plus Navratan (9 Gems), Mr B'Hams Chicken Balti, Dal Bukhara, left over Madras and RJ, Spiced Chokos, Naan and shop bought Vegie Samosa. All bar the Dal are pictured elsewhere.
I bought 50 of each 500 and 650 ml Chinese TA containers for the freezer since I'm cooking way too much for the family to eat.

Hi LC. Yeah I should have posted on Photos... Next time.
It's Chewy's Jhal Frezi. I've cooked this dish many times recently and now very happy with the flavour etc... It all seems to be down to quantities & technic.
I'm absolutely lovin making this dish. I add a little extra water to the GG & Green chilli and Coriander paste and get flames 4 feet tall without burning the ingredients.
Flames, Chef spoon, Ali pan, noise and an excellent curry at the end of it. All sure signs of POSEUR !

Hi LC, what a shame you continue to misunderstand the purpose of this thread. It's not for posting recipes, or to be necessarily used instead of posting curries to other sections of the forum, it's simply to post a pic of what you're having for dinner each night. No one said they have to be curries, or food you're proud of. Restaurant quality food or sparkling quality photography is not required here. Feel free to join in or....
If you lack the necessary tolerance to be able to deal with your disappointment in clicking this thread and finding a picture of something other than a curry, then I suggest the wisest course of action would be to use the forum profile options to select to "ignore" the "talk about anything other than curry" board (in which this topic is located). that way you wouldn't interfere with the enjoyment of others who are using this thread as intended.
Thanks mate!

If you lack the necessary tolerance to be able to deal with your disappointment in clicking this thread and finding a picture of something other than a curry,
I don't think that Little Chillie lacks tolerance at all; he is simply expressing his view that he finds it sad that a forum that is notionally dedicated to the discussion of BIR cuisine should be temporarily taken over by a thread that is BIR-unrelated, a view which he is perfectly entitled both to hold and to express in my opinion. For my part, I would far sooner we discussed (or posted pictures of) food of any sort rather than (as is far too frequently the case) abusing the forum by launching personal attacks on each other.

Sverige At a loss again, why you choose to post this comment in this thread, why not discuss it below my post in the correct thread?
-
Excellent post Sverige.
:o :o :o
Who does he think he is to blow in and think he can instruct other long term members about their tolerance?
Says he cooked 35 curries in a weekend but I cant recall anything but poor looking pizzas and cottage pies. no pics, no recipes. I could go on.
I hope he learns to cook curry real quick and blows out again as he suggested others do. Let's face it Sverige, by your own standards the longer you stay the less talent you have. An arousal balance problem?
Here is an interesting statistic for you all (Phil). I just looked back over Sverige's last 100 posts out of 190 and guess what. Not a single piece of evidence that he has ever cooked a curry. No pictures, nothing.
Do likewise and read some of the clangers he's dropped (post no 46 (which will change obviously) directed at Phil and another one a bit further back). If you are looking for a troll, look no further than this one.

Chicken Jalfrezi for tea...
That looks good! :)

Thought I'd bring my self imposed curry hiatus to an end tonight and went with a nice tasty lamb madras. I don't often go for a lamb curry, but when I do it always seems like madras suits the deep rich flavour of lamb best. I added a good amount of the lamb stock from the precook back into the curry and that always helps the flavour along.
Showing off my copper serving dish first which Livo helped me buff up! The lamb was super tender and the dish had almost a sweetness to it, without the use of any sugar.
-
Oh yes.... That looks the duck -uts...
Very good mate.
Such a a silky smooth looking sauce!
-
I could eat that. Lamb is good.
-
For me, also a lamb curry. And this time, with some mistakes.
1) It didn't taste of lamb -- it tasted of "meat". Why ? Because I decided to pre-cook the lamb in leftover curry sauce, but didn't want to use the sauce for the final curry, preferring to start that from scratch. As a result, all of the lamb flavour leached out into the (unwanted) curry sauce, leaving none to contribute to the final dish.
2) The rice was darker than usual. Why ? Because I decided to crush /all/ the whole spices with a mortar and pestle (apart from the kala jeera), whereas I normally crush only the whole green cardamom.
Ah well, two lessons learned for next time.
Correction : on packing the leftover rice away, I now see that the dark colouration came from an excess of kala jeera rather than occurring as a side-effect of the crushing of the whole spices.
** Phil.
-
Shame if it didn't work for you Phil, but exemplar of the eyes being deceiving... the 'meat' curry looks fine.
-
Kind of you to say so, Onions, but had I been served this in a BIR I would have accused the chef of substituting cheaper meat for lamb ! Maybe I have unfairly accused some of this in the past, now I come to think of it ... Also ... I have a strange feeling my wife may have told me at some point that when the Vietnamese cook lamb, they /deliberately/ pre-cook it and then jettison the pre-cook liquid, because neither the smell nor the flavour of lamb (or mutton) are attractive to most Vietnamese. I must check this with her next time she is online.
** Phil.
-
Your Lamb Curry looks fantastic Phil... And totally understand re leaching the flavour. I havent pre-cooked Lamb for that reason for a while now. I find the only way to have Lamb curry is 'traditional style' or the Lamb tastes like my leftover Sunday lunch!
-
Great looking curries,
Good Jalfrezi and really tasty looking Lamb Madras (with portion control) :D

Phil the rice is actually straight off the farm mate - no graded stuff here - all sizes - have to rinse 6 times before bunging in the rice cooker - but its actually tasty stuff
best, Rich
-
Aha ! That may explain the "mix 'n' match" appearance then. But if it tastes good, that's all matters. Do you ever try to use it to cook pulao, or do you stick to Basmati for that ?
** Phil.
-
Phil the farm rice is OK for everyday use for us but not for anything else - Have to buy shop graded Jasmine or Basmati for everything else mate
There is a surprising difference from farm to shop bought - i would guess it may be like farm range eggs to battery farms - there again someone will say what is the difference they cant taste it - but you get the idea

Last Nights Tandoori Action
-
half an sp naan, MDB's ultimate tikka marinade, and virtually the same mix (without the water) added to 750g lamb mince for the Seekh Kebabs :)
-
Very nice Mick, I've got a long way to go. :-\
-
There were a few casualties along the way..believe me
-
Very nice, indeed, Mick! Coincidentally, I'm just 1st stage marinating a couple of kgs of chicken breast right now in preparation for the 2nd stage of your tikka recipe. I haven't made sheek kebabs for ages, so your plateful is an ideal prompt for action too! :)
-
Hope it all goes well for you Naga. My main problem was removing the kebabs from the skewers. The oil seepage ran down the skewers and caught fire - blackening the bottom of the kebabs and also welding them in place! I usually use a carving fork to dislodge them, but it has vanished, Probably at the local landfill site by now ::) I also usually put a piece of spud or onion on the bottom of the skewers but didn't bother :'( :'(
-
Yep lamb marinading AWS for a couple of the seeks only 500g so reduced quantities V slightly but noy too much CHEERS :)
-
Aye, chicken sticking to the skewers is a problem. I've largely overcome the issue by wiping down my skewers with kitchen towel soaked in a little vegetable oil before I thread the chicken on. Generally works fine for me, although I use a charcoal BBQ to do my tikka etc nowadays so it might not work with more direct heat.
EDIT: Just re-read your piece, Mick, and realised that my solution would just exacerbate your problem! Still, it works well for horizontal cooking! :)
-
Yes Naga oiling metal skewers is a must- but as you say I also have only used either grill or BBQ! In a tandoor I suppose all the oil would sink to one end and either drip to the bottom or just soak into the last bit of meat. Tasty! :o ;)
-
Lunch has got to be the old mushroom chilli fried rice of course.
-
A quick and tasty lunchtime salad for me...

Sadly, much the same for me, Gav, although it's not fish - we all love fish - but I'm the only one that eats prawns. And I love prawns! :)

I love the combination of chicken, fish, rice & saffron, and for years cooked a dish of my own creation : arroz con pollo e con pesce. The poor man's paella, perhaps, but wonderfully satisfying on a cool summer's evening.

It is indeed the other 50% of the duck (the foxes have just received the carcase) but the potatoes were cooked afresh.

Just using the industry-standard terms, really; all domestic ducks that we eat are really ducklings -- they are not allowed to live long enough to become ducks /qua/ ducks, just as unless we seek out broiler fowls we never get to eat hen (or cock), only chicken. "Duckling Montmorency" I have eaten (in restaurants) many times; "Duck Montmorency" never, whilst "Duck

Seems much the same to me. This evening's snack was toasted Winterdale Shaw with powdered Colman's mustard, Spanish Couchillo olives and Spanish capers, the last two to add salt and umami elements to the toasted cheese. The mustard tasted as it always has. Do you (Mick) by any chance use the ready-mixed stuff rather than the DIY powdered version ? If so, it might explain our different reactions to its strength.
** Phil.

Definitely not on the first date :)
You are a gentleman, sir! :)

Ready mixed stuff Phil. I noticed in the shops that it's now packaged in an inverted plastic carton much like Heinz tomato ketchup. In the old days my nose would run at the sight of the jar!! Presumably the powdered version is the old school version?

This was an Aberdeen Angus quarter pounder burger with a good slab of cheese, dill pickle, fried egg, chorizo, diced onion and burger sauce served up in a home made burger bun with crunchy onion rings and fries on the side. Quicker to cook than to type out. Sorry second pic is a bit blurry, I think I got a thumb print over the iPhone lens (I'm always doing that)
Pretty much everything was from first principles (although to be fair I didn't make the cheese or lay the egg), but the burger was pressed from mince in a banggood burger press, the burger sauce was made from Mayo, ketchup, that spicy chilli sauce with the green top which I can't remember the name of and a dab of mustard, and the onion rings were battered and breaded by my own fair hand.

Nice looking plate of food, especially the rice :)
Thank you. It was, without doubt, the best pulao rice I have ever cooked. Normal microwave oven method, but this time I fried the whole spices first in a mini-wok : star anise, cassia bark, torn Indian bay, green cardamom, and just a /little/ aniseed & kala jeera. The rice was fried separately in the microwave oven, then the whole assembled, salt & 1/3" excess water added, then cooked at 100% for 12 minutes. On this occasion I cooked two cups of rice rather than my normal one, so at 12 minutes it was still a little dry -- I added further boiling water and gave it a further five minutes at 100%, then fluffed, added one drop of each of the three colours, and back in at 10% for ten minutes. Best ever !

I think any stock cube or pot will do. I think if you add enough water they're not so bad. I use the rich beef one. I then just thicken it a bit with some corn flour.

Crinkle cuts! What is it over there?? We eat them with battered fish or fried chicken and gravy.
If you want taters with your curry cook some dum aloo, or at least some turmeric taters. Dead easy and delicious.

Oil fry a bit of onion with some mustard seeds and a bit of turmeric. (Add whatever you want really)
Drop the potatoes in and finish cooking them on the shallow fry.

It's not "over [t]here", it's "over (a small Northern part of) [t]here". Doesn't happen in the South, I'm please to say, where chips go with fish or steak. But gravy with fried chicken ? Unthinkable (assuming you mean Southern Fried chicken, that is).

One of the Colonels biggest gripes with the cooperation's that took over his business was what they did to his gravy. He called what they made wallpaper paste. Famous quote. How can you eat southern fried chicken without gravy? I have been perfecting my SFC gravy for a while now.
As far as I know, gravy is not offered in KFC in the U.K., and even if it were, I don't think I'd be tempted to try it. KFC, thin chips (a.k.a. "fries"), maybe some baked beans, and if it weren't for the six million birds slaughtered every day to satisfy the world's need for KFC it would be a meal made in heaven. With a super-sized Coke on the side, of course !

I remember the gravy in KFC in the 70's, but never for one minute thought it was meant for the chicken. ???

Garlic and ginger marinated chicken wings, breaded and fried then a sweet glaze. Ok they look dark but were not that bad in real life. With crinkle cut fries because I've heard they're trendy now.

Well, being desperate to try my new crinkle cutter (http://www.banggood.com/Potato-Chip-Chopper-Wavy-Crinkle-Cutter-Slicer-Blade-Wooden-Handle-p-88498.html) out (recommended), and having a bit of base left from the other night, curry and chips were on today's lunch menu. A rake around in my freezer found some pre-cooked mutton so I knocked up a Mutton Madras (with a drizzle of Mr Naga oil added) and smothered it over some chips. Delicious.

Well there's your problem!! Straight cut chips mate.
They look fatter in the photo than they actually were. Fries not chips. :)
I'm not a lover of fries (detest Mc Donalds and KFC ones) but these were flavoured and weren't to bad tasting. My plan to get the missus to order the 3 bean chilli and swap them for my fries failed miserably. Just so you know, the sausage was a bit skanky, and the coldslaw was more like freezing slaw. The 2 pulled meats weren't that hot either which seems to be a major tripadvisor complaint. I've had the stuff before at beer festivals etc and its been nice. I missed the hot wing challenge as well which they have on the internet which I think I could have had a go at with a bit forward planning. ;)
My crinkled babies today made up for it though ;D
And please don't get me started about Moules Frites. >:(

At least that looks like a cold beer in the top right corner so it wasn't too bad then. Where is the side salad? My wife would cringe at a meal like that. I'd love it as long as it was done well.

Vegetarian day today, and also celebrating the arrival of my new falafel scoop from tel aviv:

I got myself falafelling and turned out 20 from 75g of dry chickpeas. Cheap as chana!

They look a hundred times better than my last attempt at falafel which ended up like mush :-\ I'll have to have another go.

It's pretty simple.. I'll post a recipe

Salami and sausage pizza, with some peppers and onions to brighten it up. Tried a new method today, instead of oven cooking I slid the pizza onto a preheated tawa then under a preheated grill. Seemed to work.

Good looking pizza there Sverige
I had an evening pizza course last year
One of the tips was to turn a oven tray upside down so you can slide your pizza on and off it :)

Thanks MT. My biggest challenge with pizza is handling the dough as its often so sticky I end up using loads of flour and even then I can't reliably slide it off my "peel" (flour covered chopping board). I'm not sure an upside down oven tray would be any better.
-
It takes a bit of practice getting it off and on the peel
A good confident shake :)
Semilina flour might help it rolls off bit better
Cheers MT

Or my mashed potato

I did have a bit of crumpet to cheer myself up ;)
with lots of butter of course
-
Another tawa / grill pizza with the second half of the no knead dough. Chorizo, sausage, red pepper and green chilli. I stretched and topped it on aluminum foil on top of a chopping board and just slid it straight onto the tawa, preferring this approach to the riskiness of throwing it off the side of a peel not knowing if it'll hit the tawa or the wall.

;D very nice again

I like a good corned beef hash now and again :P :P
But I think I'll pop down the local BIR and get a Bhuna with Bombay Aloo ;D ;D ;D

I love corned beef hash, it just needs 2 fried eggs on top and a handfull of spring onions and it'd be 5-star cuisine.

Hard to get good hash out here nowadays. There's never any corned beef left at my place.
-
I love corned beef hash, it just needs 2 fried eggs on top and a handfull of spring onions and it'd be 5-star cuisine.
Agreed. I used to make it at work and most would be pre complaining, 'What. dog food?' etc etc but once they found it wasn't as unhealthy as they originally thought and they had scoffed the first plate full, they were always back for more. I've always wanted to do my own corned beef sometime. :)
-
I get more repeat requests for this than anything else. More corned beef hash.

Hi All,
Some great looking food on this thread.
I've been making these Chicken Tikka burgers/kebabs for a long time now and thought it was about time I cooked some and took some photos.
These are made with minced chicken (leg meat). Some tikka paste, fresh coriander, mix powder, salt and a mix of fresh garlic, green chillies, carrot.
I get this from the same Asian store where I get the chicken.
The garlic, chilli and carrot mix has gone through a fine mincing process (that sounds wrong) and kept in the fridge for a few hours. During this time a lot of water collects in the bottom of the bowl. The butcher then uses a slotted spoon and drains it before adding some to a plastic bag.
I use about 4 tablespoons of this mix to a kilo of minced chicken.
It is quite a sticky mix at this stage so I add a couple of tablespoons of bread crumbs.
Once everything is mixed I leave it for a couple of hours before making into 5 oz burgers.
I use a burger press to shape them and place on a plastic tray to freeze individually.
Once they are frozen they can then be bagged together without sticking together.
I cook them from frozen in a nonstick pan over a low heat turning only once after about 7-8 minutes of cooking.
These really do taste great and can be eaten as I have them in the photos or in burgers buns.
The fresh taste of the garlic and chillies is spot on.
Simple but delicious.
Cheers
Mick

So is it the carrot / chilli / garlic mix you get from the butcher? or more than that? Do you have any idea of the ratios? I've just made a batch but had to guess at quantity. (1 x medium carrot, 1 x 4" chilli and 3 garlic cloves, all finely grated)
Approximately how much paste and mix powder do you use / kg of chicken mince ? I won't use much coriander anyway.
Think I'll put some finely sliced shallot / green onion in as well though.
I started straight away. They just look so good.
-
What I want to know, Is how do I stop my home made burgers from shrinking when I cook them? I always end up with a burger half the size, and almost 3 times the thickness. How do you guy's cook your burgers? and keep them the original size? If Any ;D
-
I stayed in a small village in Ireland many years ago. The local butcher's used to sell 7 burgers for a quid and they got bigger when you cooked em! ;D
I think the trick might be holes Les to keep them from shrinking. Try a lattice pattern with a meat mallet.
Make them twice the size required and press with mallet to create indentations.
-
And cook 'em very rare!

its probably the lack of horse meat that make them shrink ;D ;D

Hi Livo,
I get the minced chicken and the garlic/chilli/carrot from the same butcher.
The carrot is much less than the garlic and chilli. To be honest you could leave it out and I don't think you would notice. But I would say the ratio is about 45/45/10% garlic/chilli/carrot.
I don't measure out the rest of the ingredients but about...
1 tablespoon of Mix powder
1 tablespoon of Tikka Paste
1/2 teaspoon of Salt....
Using 15ml tablespoon measure
Cheers
Mick
-
Thanks. I'll have to redo the three mix ratio. I was way out. Not a problem. Cant wait to give them a try.
To the question of shrinkage, I saw a video from an American burger cook one time and he commented on shrinkage occurring if you "over-work" the pattie. He advocated the minimum amount of shaping possible and keeping the meat quite loose rather than tightly compacted.

Thanks livo,
Now there could lie my problem, I do mix the meat rather well ;D,
-
Les, obviously additional ingredients need to be added to the meat and mixed through adequately. I think the video cook was more so referring to the formation of the meatball and then the compaction of this into the pattie shape. Too much attention here is the likely cause of the shrinkage.
I remember back to my youth and late nights at the pub, when drinks were over at 10.00 pm. Many patrons would cross over the road to the packed out burger shop, affectionately known as "Greasy Ray's" back then. If memory serves me, Ray's patties were actually large round meatballs and he didn't flatten them till they hit the grill plate and he adeptly spread them out using 2 large spatulas. His charming wife, Lizzy was not to be crossed and she kept control of the often near riotous crowd by simply threatening to deny food to trouble makers. This usually, but not always, worked.
Since watching that video and for uniformity of shape I use a double egg ring and simply push the meat in, run a knife around it to remove the ring and that's it.
-
Well a bit of a celebratory dinner tonight

I made some more yesterday, trying not to mush them up so much, and we didn't like the texture at all, very grainy. but practice makes perfect, might try this guy in the video's way and see how it goes. but to me he is squeezing all the juice out the burger, unless sealing it first prevents this.
-
Yes Les, I agree that his method would push the juices out. The old Ray and Lizzie technique was just quick and done. Drop the ball on the grill, two spatulas to flatten it then leave it. I can't find the original video I watched years ago but here is one that is similar in content although difficult to listen to. Americans are passionate about burgers.

Cooked my CBM Tikka burger patties this afternoon. I made 3 huge burger sized patties and there was enough left for me to have a sampler before dinner. They are a real winner for mine. I'll be eating them for dinner tonight and other nights for sure.
I also think there is endless variation of these things. Great idea. Thanks for the inspiration CBM.

Tonight Josephine, I turned to my stuffed burger maker and came up with a dill pickle, mozzarella, onion and pepperoni stuffed burger to serve up with fries. I kept track and found a massive 230g beef mince went into the making of it - a half pounder burger even before the filling! Not a light bite then, but it was good :)
Stufz burger press from here

-
Max 4 images per post, bit of a drawback non?
There was a bit of leakage as it cooked, but not bad. I was glad of the flavour contrast of the pepperoni in there as 230g of beef could have been a bit much without some strong contrasting flavour. I really should have seasoned the inside of the cavity too. I'll know next time.
-
That's one gourmet burger with whistles and bells, wings, and all sorts of other stuff.
Superb my friend :)
-
Thats does look a superb burger Sverige.
-
Brilliant got to get one of those :)
-
Well let me know what filling ideas you come up with if you do, as I'm struggling to get far beyond cheese and bacon :) be warned though, bring your appetite with you as it's a big old burger that it turns out. The instructions say it's "America's favorite stuffed burger maker" and I can see how it would go down well in the land of the big gulp!
-
They must be big crinkle cut chips. That little burger only has 2 bites out of it and it's nearly gone. I'll have to show you a picture of the Wamby Whopper.

That Beef looks Top Notch to me Fried. Just how I like it! Did you use a thermometer on that, if so what was the reading?

-
I just put it in a freezer back with whatever herbs/ spices take my fancy. Then cook it in a frying pan with a little olive oil, brown all the sides thouroughly, then let sit for 15mins (or as long as I can stand!). I've never timed it, I'd say about 25/30 mins of cooking time to sear it.
If you think the beef's scary you should see some omelette pictures 8)

No offence mate, but that beef isn't rare, it's raw.
-
Recon that piece of beef is still mooing ;D but it's already dead, so why kill it again. by over cooking the poor thing. ;)
-
Did you forget to turn the oven on mate?
I confess it's a little rare even for me ... We has roast rib of beef recently, roasted beautifully rare, but what I failed to realise was that it was so rare that the bacteria had not all been destroyed by the cooking... I put the remains into the 'fridge (once cold), had a second helping two days later, but when I came to finish it up two days after that it had already gone off. But never one to waste anything, I scalded it with boiling water to get rid of the greasy feel, and then ate all but the highest parts. Delicious :)

Probably a tiny bit rare for me but I'd certainly eat it with not one complaint. Looks lovely.
And going ever so slightly off topic but we did have it for tea......Having just been to France, whilst we are there we have a few Norwegians with us and every year they bring they bring us some of Norways finest treats. Elk sausage, a selection of Brown cheeses (bring back the Caramac), a cured leg of lamb, salted liquorice, Norwegian dried peas (http://enhver.no/dagligvareprodukt/ertestuing-5-minutter-toro/) (for which seem to go down well with everyone with the traditional Saturday night steaks) and the dodgy one. This year it was whale sushi :-\ which looked like black raw liver and smelt liked a blocked drain. Heres a photo taken slightly worst for wear with a grubby paw print on my phone lens under some ice blue christmas lights.

It didn't taste as bad as it smelt but I stupidly breathed in whilst launching a bit into my mouth and was nearly sick. That said it wasn't as bad as the Surstr (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstr%C3%B6mming)
-
Sounds like you had a whale of a time Gav :)
-
"When I were a lad", we used to feed our cat on whale-meat, purchased from MacFisheries. I regularly used to steal a bit, and found it quite pleasant, but of course that was cooked (boiled), not a la sushi.

Well being back home, I'm now craving chinese and curry. So first up (after homemade panko breadcrumbed fish and chips yesterday), is Chili Squid with Stir Fried Vegetables and Noodles. Delicious.

I made this today. Filipino style pork steaks. I have to say it was a very tasty dish and something I will make again. This version used cream which made for a very tasty and rich sauce. Served with plain brown rice.

As its summer my other favourite food of BBQ has taken over a bit. Heres my first attempt at a low and slow brisket. 12 hours overnight in the smoker over some chunks of whisky barrel oak.

Gav,
That's a bit of me I love proper BBQ and brisket and pulled pork are my favorites, but living in a third floor flat a smoker or BBQ is not an option, when I do move out of London the first 3 things I want are an oil drum smoker/BBQ, a tandoor and a shed for my home brewing. Which smoker have you got.
London.

Good old sausage, mash, peas and red onion gravy and Sheffields very own Henderson relish brewed here for over 100 years! nearly every house in Sheffield has a bottle of Hendersons in their pantry.
-
I took quick look at the ingredients in worster and hendersons sauce,there are a lot of similarities in the ingredients,except hendersons does not have anchovies so would be suitable for vegetarians,i was wondering if it tastes similar,i read that when marco pierre white first tried it he drank the whole bottle,i doubt he would do that with worcestershire sauce.

Experimental dinner/supper in readiness for relatives at month end.A Glasgow "curry in a hurry base"teamed up with Glasgow lamb Patia,still in the tweaking stage,but ok.mopped up with chunks of Tom Kerridges soda bread.

Hi madpower yes I remember reading that article in the Sheffield star the Worcestershire relish is a lot more spicy than the Henderson

I wonder if a splash of Hendersons can be used in a Madras instead of Worcestershire sauce?

Thanks dalpuri,that is what i was thinking loveitspicy,have you tried it in any dishes curryaddictbob,i was just about to order a bottle off ebay for a fiver(3.50 post) until i thought to look at the morrisons site they sell it there at 1.50,i will get some tomorrow and try it in a vindaloo and madras unless someone tells me otherwise.
-
You name it us sheffielders will put Hendersons in it! It goes great on fish and chips stew and dumplings it's great on meat pies etc and yes I've use it in curry
Bob.

Got my interest up with the Henderson's as I love Lea and Perrins. Don't have it in Tesco Dumfries though so may have to check out Morrisons :)

Picked up a couple of Staff Curries from my local last night, one a mutton on the bone curry which I've froze and the other a King Prawn (shell on) curry with green beans and fresh chili. Never had prawns with the shell on in a curry before and I have to say it was fantastic. (shell sucking good :))

Very nice , how does a staff curry compare to a regular restaurant menu curry?
-
Very nice , how does a staff curry compare to a regular restaurant menu curry?
They're more like home style curries which are cooked from scratch without using a base and usually cooked for a few hours. If you've never had one they are definitely worth trying. I've tried Happy Chris's Staff Curry (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,11933.0.html) and also Chewys Bengali Chicken Roast (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,7846.0.html). Both were very good although one problem with Chewy's as I reported is you can't stop eating the chicken once its been fried so make extra :-\

After cooking curries for a couple of hours today I was left really craving something along the same lines tonight. Having cleaned up already and having a few pieces of chicken tikka left i decided to make a chicken tikka kebab. So nice with some salad and mint sauce all wrapped up in a fresh naan.
(http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/pics/5b478f8137c6a6e061abae0cdc7dfbcd.jpg)

That looks very nice indeed, SR! I only had a light dinner of dhal and chapattis tonight and I'm feeling quite peckish now. That kebab would just hit the spot. :)
-
I must say that after cooking I wasn't that hungry but leaving for just a little while the craving soon comes back so it was fortunate that I had some tikka left or it would have been cornflakes or something.
-
Had this last night for my parents anniversary. Very nice indeed but there was very little left for me for breakfast, barely a snack. But I guess that's ok because there is still some base sauce in the freezer.

No tomatoes, they're chorizo slices. The WHO may say it's carcinogenic, but I don't even listen to music so I don't care.

Bloody brilliant. Wot meats there Garp?

I don't do pizza. Not had to suffer it since 2010. I must admit what i've seen on here recently and with Garp's latest post, it's even got my taste buds aroused :o It does look so tasty and inviting, but it always disappoints. Maybe that's just the chain providers efforts. It I tried the home made variety perhaps my desire would be kindled ??? But this is looking seriously tastey :P

...I settled for a meal from Chewy's...
Looks fantastic, Gav! Very jealous of the brilliant food you guys put together! :)
PS: ordered a T/A tonight. Chicken Chaat (aka tandoori chicken drumsticks to everyone else!) and a Lamb Karahi with boiled rice. There was so much chicken - maybe a dozen pieces - that the curry had to go into the fridge for tomorrow! Whatever happened to my appetite...?

Still laughing at London's ;D

Thanks guys for your fine comments
It's all about the dough
Mine came from Ken Forkish a no knead over night dough
so easy and idiot proof ( unless your name is Stuart ) ;)

Sorry, hope the portrait image doesn't mess things up but tonight the Sunday roast came a day early. A lovely Shiraz provided the orchestra.

Had a takeaway ... really annoyed as I was being lazy and it was being rubbish. Special Thai Fried Rice .... completely lacking in seasoning. Thought it was my taste buds at first, but after fully tasting prawn crackers (which are fairly delicate) which tasted fine, I realised it was just an awful meal. CBA just now, but I'll season it up with a bit of soy sauce and msg later. Serves me right!

Certainly. It was at Al-Safa on the Curry Mile. The naan and tikka are cooked while you wait. The chili is a large pickled one with the normal salad ingredients on plus some coleslaw and some hummus on the end. Sauces were a yoghurt mint, a pinky coloured spicy sauce and a red kebab chili sauce. It really was tasty and probably top of my kebab list at the minute. Mate had the Chicken Shawarma which he enjoyed as well.
The last time I went we had 'Qabily Pillow' (Kabuli Palaw (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabuli_Palaw)) which was good as well. On the bone mutton and comes with a lentil and vegetable dahl.

Late nights Chicken feast Josephine ;D
Bengali style dry chicken curry with plain basmati rice (typical BIR Staff Curry)
Small chicken, curry cut on the bone, pressure cooked with onion, capsicum, green chilli and spices.
Traditional Staff curries never look that good on camera, but its more about the taste. :P :P

Sunday's night tea
A friend of mine brings me a whole lamb from his father's farm every year so I decided to roast the shoulders in the woodfired oven and to accompany it I made a confit byaldi ( it was worth the effort ???)
Then a bit of a contrast
I have been overdoing it recently ( drinking and eating )
So I thought I would do a bit of cutting back
so to enjoy the glut of Christmas
Tonight's tea home made horrible Broccoli and parmesan soup
Thankyou for those pictures Gav and Chewy
I am know licking the screen

Sadly, not my recipe, Rich. I usually do mickdabass's tikka these days, but this one is Razor's marinade.
Speaking of getting along to Stephen's in this weather, I see that they've had to open the Tay floodgates at Perth. It'll get wetter before it gets better. Hameldaeme is the best bet today, lads'n'lasses! :)

Been there too. I rate that one higher. More expensive but quality and quantity are higher. Still won't stop me enjoying those jellies though :)
Wanstead? Not yet. But Harringtons in Tooting - oh YES. Very fond memories of that place.
Nice Tikka by the way Naga. Let us know how you get on when you put it in the patala :D
Trust you to top it all SL. Best you post some pics of the bands supper ;)

Laytonstone 2nd
Robin's Wanstead is number 1.

Pie and Mash OK but gives you that Lead Belly feeling.
Geordie olden days had similar, with a Pie and Mushy Pea supper.
Very popular for Pub night gatherings. One Pie per head though, ;D I can smell it now.
I love Scallops, Bacon and Eggs.

Looks excellent, Chewy! A veritable BIR colour palette just begging to be eaten! :)

I saw this dish - Fegato alla Veneziana or Calf's Liver and Onions - cooked on a recent episode of Rick Stein's Venice to Istanbul series. I like a nice bit of liver, but I can't remember the last time I had some - probably before the BSE outbreak, I suppose.
Anyway, pressing on, I bought some nice veal's liver and cooked the dish, accompanied by Stein's suggestion of Parmesan Polenta. Very nice, indeed! This was the first time ever I'd tried polenta, and it turned out a little runny. Still tasty though, but I'll do better next time!
I won't leave it so long for my next piece of tender liver and onions! :)

Now that is a fine plate of pie mash and liquor London :-*. Far better portion wise than that i got in Leytonstone on Friday. Will put Robins on the radar for sure.
Nothing wrong with lead belly feeling CT. That's how i felt after stuffing myself with my bangers and mash the other day ;D Absolutely delicious.
That tandoori madras looks tasty. I'm sure i'll enjoy my vindaloo left overs just as much though with a couple of poppuds :)
Had Polenta once Naga, pretty subtle tasting stuff but fills the belly. I'm afraid i'd have to pass on the liver in any shape or form :o. One man's meat and all that ;D
As for the scallops, two maybe three of them and i'd be done. I find them very rich. Nice combo though. Upmarket full English :D

There's a secret- ask for two pie and mash rather than one :D ::)

CH,
I think the pies served at Leytonstone are on the small side, the biggest pies are from Cooke's in Broadway Market. Let me know what you think of Robin's. If you get the chance try Manzie's in Walthamstow as the decor is superb and the pies are nice as well.

Tasty plate of food there naga, looks lush.
I cant wait for a curry tonight ;)

Looks really lush Keith. So much so i could eat that lot even at 9:00 in the morning :o Last time I made the NIS I didn't get to eat it. It was curry knapped along with the chicken patala and ended up in Worthing :-\ But I did get a fabulous coffee and walnut sponge out of the deal :-*
Last nights efforts, chicken vindaloo journey continues. On the replication scale of what I'm looking for - 5.5 :-\ Some bits are right but still some miles to go yet and i'm running out of base >:(

That vindaloo looks delish, Dave. I also like the look of your rice. I like pilau, so I don't know why I don't make it more often. Must rectify that and get a large batch on. :)

I've yet to be won over with Stifado. Mate of mine makes it but I always find he over does it with the cinnamon. Still looks nice Naga and perfect accompaniments for me with that type of meal The mash looks perfect.

I've yet to be won over with Stifado. Mate of mine makes it but I always find he over does it with the cinnamon. Still looks nice Naga and perfect accompaniments for me with that type of meal The mash looks perfect.
I've used a particular Stifado recipe for many, many years and it still doesn't get anywhere near my all time favourite prepared in a Cretan restaurant I used to visit every year for around 15 years. Still, its pretty good and I've had no complaints, but one of these days, I'll revisit the taverna and ask for the recipe!
I was tempted to make the Stifado following a recent episode of Rock Stein's Venice to Istanbul TV series, but I thought the recipe (found on Google Books!) was unusual with just the addition of allspice berries and a cinnamon stick to the shallots and meat.
Anyway, I adapted my usual recipe to incorporate some elements of Stein's recipe, namely, chopped onion in addition to the shallots, a cinnamon stick, and cooking on the stove top rather than the oven. Although I used veal, I cooked the dish slowly for 2 hours rather than the shorter time suggested by the chef.
It worked! And I think it worked pretty well. It was certainly a little tastier than my usual fare, but that might just have been down to the quality of the meat - I don't usually splash out on veal! :)

Tonight's tea
And first cooked curry of the year inspired by my visted to Chewys I asked him about my favourite starter
The good old fashioned Prawn Puri
For some reason I've never attempt it before ::) So Chewy showed me how to do the prawn curry
and today I looked for a Puri recipe I used wholemeal flour
So there it is and what a winner god knows why I haven't tried it before ::)
Cheers MT

MT,
I haven't had a Prawn Puri for god knows how long, but seeing your splendid effort I will have to give it a go.

Looks good MT and I'm glad it came out good for you. Had a Bhuna Mussel on Puri on New Years eve for which was a lot better than I expected :)

absolutely my no.1 favourite starter.
please post the recipe and method. ;D

Just a prawn curry ziggy
Keep it simple All the usual suspects GG, tom pastes , mix pwder, methi and base ,reduce down to bhuna style throw a few toms in and coriander
bobs your uncle ;D

cheers micky.. what about the puri bread ?

I used wholemeal flour today mixed with water little oil and salt
roll out and deep fry
Next time I'll do white naan dough which I think will be even better ;)

...I'll never forgive those Belgians for the frites...
I've never tried Belgian frites, but I'm told by loads of folk that their frites are the best. Must stop at a frites shop and try them out one of these days.

Right
I'll name this dish Moroccan Shepherds Pie :-\ :)
It's a play on a chickpea stew I do but i added roasted lamb mince and obviously mash on top
Sweated some onions ,GG,bayleaves and a cinnamon stick . Then added a glass of wine and reduce
Then tom puree, cumin and smoked paprika , tin toms and chickpeas
I also add tamerind a handful of coriander and season to taste and just let it bubble away
Very nice comfort food for a Monday

And another top looking dish lc, how did the tikka compare to your usual?
-
Hi Andy I normally use Blades Tikka but also thought this was up there with a nice sweetness to it. I used a lot of oil as in jb's images and found it kept the thigh meat nice and juicy.
I just love home cooked BIR rice as it can be vastly improved with a few tweaks.

Maybe you should do a video LC ;D ;D and show us how it's done rather than how not to do it ::)

@CT that bag of flour would keep me in chapattis for a while CT. In fact it would probably come alive before i got half way through it :o :o An Asian lady at my work place swears by Elephant ata flour :) It's the best she says. She does make a damn good chapatti :P

Ha ha nice one! Funingly enough I had some sock with massive holes in them I would put them on in the evening to wind her up

Another food selfie ;D
Popped in for lunch today, in what used to be huge "failed" Thai Restaurant downtown.
Its been opened again by a local English cafe owner from round the corner.
As I walked in, the elaborate Thai design, layout and furnishings were the same.
But I had to smile at the patriotic plastic table cloths. ;D
I ordered good old, Mince and Dumplings, the server said it comes with mash, roasties and a choice of three veg.
I went for turnip, peas and carrots.
All washed down with a pot of tea. Excellent ;)

Just so i don't feel left out, here's my evenings efforts, chicken patala and my Elaichi madras. Will be adding tarka dhall and my keema rice. Don't get to eat any of it though as it's in exchange for a lovely coffee and walnut sponge MMMMMmmmmm

I got my hands on some OK fruity sauce today so for the first time made Scotty's recipe spot on as he posted it, and for me this is now 100% takeaway replica, no further changes to be made.

Hi CAB.
The recipe I use is very simple.
A cup of plain flour
a cup of eggs
a cup of half and half milk and water
Whisk and leave to stand for an hour or two.
Heat the oil in the oven dish until it's smoking.
Pour in the mixture and cook for 20 minutes, don't open the oven door as it won't rise.
Hope this help.

Ha, yeah - first time using paneer in a curry and I wasn't quite sure what to do with it. I was worried it would melt if I microwaved it in the sauce :)
What should I have done?
-
What should I have done?
Not taken the pictures while standing on your head for starters! ;D
But paneer is quite robust and needs to be cooked in the sauce to absorb the flavours. Get it in earlier (and marinate in some sort of sauce first if possible).

Thanks, I'll chuck some into the curry sauce tonight ahead of lunch tomorrow
I give up on the photos. I've taken them with the iPhone to the left and to the right and still people tell me they're upside down. I must've bought an Australian iPhone.

I would pre-fry it first then add to sauce.

Yep, I always fry it first too.

To add a little quick flavour
Butter in a pan - pinch of garam masala and chuck in your paneer - golden brown on all sides add to curry
QUICK WAY

Hi Sverige
Im playing with paneer too, love tikka paneer, it takes the marinade soo well and goes crunchy under the grill but still soft inside. Cant wait to use in a real curry.

Thanks guys, really interesting on the paneer. Some more experimentation required on my part I think.
No knead pizza today. Just lightly loaded with Chorizo, bacon, sausage, red pepper, green chilli and sweetcorn. It didn't cook quite as I'd wanted as the oven wasn't as hot as I thought, so I ended up having to leave it in for too long. Will have another crack soon.

Yeah I like a heavily loaded pizza. There was grated mozzarella and a whole fresh mozzarella on there too.
The only oven issue I had was not being patient enough to let it warm up long enough. Next time will be better.

Wednesdays Lunch
Family invited to a Bangladeshi wedding the other day which was a great and interesting afternoon out. Around 600 people there and of course bowls of homestyle curry for food. Chicken Pakora, seekh kebab and tandoori chicken starter. Main was lamb curry , chicken curry (both quite spicy) and a tarka dhal with plain rice. The lamb was just melt in the mouth and sadly just binned after the meal. Sitting on the table with a couple of chefs, my missus leaned over and said quietly, 'We're at a wedding,....... do not........ask........how they make their base' :/

The food looks really similar to a buffet we often go to at Aagrah restaurant Sheffield
And it's my type of curry

Pizza again. More or less the same deal as before, sausage, chorizo, bacon, green and red pepper, green chilli, grated and fresh mozzarella, sweet corn to finish. All on a no knead base with my custom pizza sauce (think I've posted it before). The triptych shows the layers building up.
A nice slice of homemade chocolate fudge cake and a glass or two of cold cava made for a nice celebration of the weekend's arrival.

Last night I tried my first recipe from the excellent "Veg Recipes of India" site - veg hakka noodles. Turned out nice and spicy. Tasting as I went along, I thought it needed a bit "extra" so some slight differences - I used garlic/ginger paste to fry, Added some extra soy sauce and rice vinegar, added some sweet chilli sauce. Also added a little water to make it a little more saucy, as it seemed a bit dry.

Slow cooked lamb shank with a red wine, Rosemary and cranberry gravy and smashed potatoes. Guess it doesn't look so pretty but it sure was tasty.

That looks like typical plate of tasty British comfort nosh to me with posh flavoursome gravy. I definitely would not turn my nose up at it :P
And those noodles look good too Meggeth ;)

Sous vide steak tonight, with a slice of chocolate fudge cake for afters. 57C for two hours, think that makes it a medium (the steak, not the choccy cake).
-
Pizza craving tonight - soon enough fixed....
Each time I cook one of these I'm finding myself loading more and more toppings on it. Seems to crisp up ok nonetheless.
So this was pepperoni, sausage balls, bacon, green chilli, red pepper, onions, sweetcorn, grated & whole mozzarella. Cooked on a Teflon mesh straight on the oven shelf. The heat gets under it that way. Base was no knead dough and the pizza sauce is my own imitation dominos / AN other American pizza place replica.

Am I wrong but this what's it's all about :)

I'll have to try a Sous Vide steak Sverige, everyone raves on about them. What Sous Vide do you have?
I just use an old slow cooker and control it with an Arduino project which I found online. Since I had the slow cooker already I just needed to buy a few bits - arduino nano, push buttons, led module, relay and temperature probe. Components are crazy cheap these days and I think I spent less than $15 from Banggood for everything. It maintains a temperature within 0.5C most of the time, so as good as the overpriced posh ones.
I finished the steak with a blow torch but made the mistake of not wiping off the pepper first, so I had some burned black pepper taste. Won't make that mistake twice. It's certainly an interesting technique and opens some new possibilities. Despite the name sous vide (under vacuum) you don't need to invest in a vacuum sealer - just use ziplock bags and allow water displacement to chase the air out of them.
Steps 5&6 on this page cover it:

Thanks, Sverige! I like the look of your steak too. I'll need to read a bit more about the sous vide method. I've rather ignored it up until now.

Small portion of Bombay aloo for lunch. Pots were precooked JB method and again had spot on texture. Not overcooked or breaking up even after being churned around in the frying pan by my ham fisted attempts at making the final dish. There's something in that oven bake approach.

Chicken tikka kebabs with a serve of madras sauce for pouring over. Bombay aloo, pilau rice and a naan bread.
-
A madas sauce for poring over what a great idea
Better than brown sauce is what I thought before I read the caption ;)
-
Haha! I was all out of HP damn...
I like kebabs but I find they can be dry for eating with rice, so I pulled out of the freezer a portion of madras sauce from a bulk cook a few weeks ago. I guess I made it into a tikka madras self-assembly partwork. Tikka marinade was an ad hoc effort with a teaspoon of laziza tikka botti (where is Bengali Bob these days?) half a tsp madras paste & tandoori paste (Pataks), tiny amount of colmans mint sauce and a tiny sprinkle of lemon juice and red food colour powder. I didn't bother with G&G and didn't miss it. All just dropped straight on top of a single chicken breast cut into chunks.
-
Sounds good
worth a try
I'm a big fan of the lazzia pastes tandoori, botti and tikka and I've tried all combinations
Even individually just mixed with yoghurt, vinegar, GG, oil, salt They are great

You chefs who continually post great looking dishes are what this site is about. It may not all be BIR but at least you take the trouble to cook and post the results. I'd be up for sampling anything posted in this thread :P. It beats the hell out of hot air and back biting ;)

I couldn't disagree more. Here's why: 1) Great looking dishes are not the same as great tasting dishes. You appear to rate form over substance 2) This thread has too little to do with BIR and is a major distraction. You lock threads where people may have opinions to express, but not this one which, in my opinion should have been closed down many months ago, so everyone can get back to the primary BIR focus of the site. 3) any viewpoints you don't agree with are considered to be hot air and back biting. As ScottyM pointed out, why delete posts which may express a different opinion but are not especially rude, let alone obscene? If you delete this post, it will prove my point. There are countless posts on this thread supporting the general concept. This post expresses a different point of view, and I trust I'm allowed to express it.
-
I second that George. This post is tiresome to be honest, always great to look at good food if it's bir. Not interested in seeing a Sunday roast or steak and chips to be honest.

Thanks Scotty.
Chicken Ceylon tonight
Mmmm nice. I like the Ceylon, has the south indian feel. And i love me some south indian
What base do you use?
It's my own base, cooked as part of a bulk recipe (if you can call 10 portions bulk).
I use an electric pressure cooker and make 2.75 litres of base, starting with 2kg of onions and keeping it relatively thick - close to the consistency of a finished curry. Then I cook a bhagar with enough spices, etc for 10 curries and unite bhagar with base, plus any other ingredients (coconut and sugar for Ceylon) then portion it into takeaway containers and add precooked meat. I prefer to cook ahead this way to stock my freezer so I can defrost and knock up a quick and easy meal whenever I want, without cooking each time.
So anyway, I just vary the spicing and other ancillary ingredients to make it one curry or another. For the Ceylon I use 250g coconut block and 200g coconut milk powder (Maggi) plus 85g sugar & not too much tomato. Overall I shoot for 3.5kg of sauce for a generous 350g per portion to which I add 150g meat.
For madras I'd omit the sugar and coconut, add more tomato paste and mix powder and lemon and tamarind, or sometimes Worcester sauce (nod to Chewytikka).

Chicken tikka Nirali:
I finally got the recipe for this. I found this slip of paper in my jacket pocket which the chef jotted down for me a while ago but I passed it off as I thought surely something was missing , this really good creamy curry can't be just this simple! So to ease my curiosity I made some today and to my surprise it's damn good! Here is the slip of paper he gave me and if you're in to creamy curries give it a try! I use jb base gravy.
Recipe
2 X ladles of base gravy
1 X Tsp of tandoori powder I use east end it says 1/2 on the slip of paper but I increased it to 1tsp
1 X portion of chicken tikka
3 X TBSP of double cream
1 X knob of butter
A small handful of cashew nuts
Just simply cook for around 3 minutes done
1 X hard boiled egg just my personal preference
That's it done.

Pizza Napoletana -- Wood-fired Italian buffalo mozarella & sun-soaked tomatoes with anchovies, capers and olives.
-
Bit well done for me, Phil, but the middle looks delicious :)
-
The recipe said 10--12 minutes at 220C, or at 200C for fan ovens (which I have); I gave it only 10, but next time it will be only 8 !
-
Phil how do you control your wood fired oven?
-
I don't (in fact, I don't even own one). I allow Mr Waitrose to make the pizza base and add the basic toppings (buffalo mozarella & sun-blushed tomatoes), then add my favourite extras (capers, anchovies, olives), cook for 10 minutes (or less) at 200C in a conventional fan oven (electric) then serve and enjoy. I don't even own a pizza slicer !

-
OK I thought you had wood fired it?
-
OK I thought you had wood fired it?
No, that is Waitrose's description -- I think the box has already been taken by the dustman, but I seem to recall that it read "wood-fired buffalo mozzarella & sun soaked tomato pizza". Checking on the Waitrose site, I see that it goes on to say "made with slow-rising dough, our pizza bases are stretched by hand, and cooked on lava stones in a brick-lined wood-fired oven. The intense heat cooks quickly and evenly, keeping in all the flavour of the dough, and producing the thin, crisp crust you find in Italian pizzerias.".
Living in the Kent countryside as I do, real pizzerias are hard to find, but every Thursday afternoon/evening we have a pizza van on the village green, and he cooks every pizza to order in a wood-fired oven which is integrated into his van. They are superb.

Same again, more or less. More razor's sheek, less chorizo. Dough is from chefsteps - better than no knead which I've previously used, but does need a stand mixer. https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/life-changing-pizza-dough-with-joe-heffernan-of-seattle-s-independent-pizzeria
Cooked in a conventional oven (no fan) at 250C. Really a struggle actually,needs a fan oven at 275C ideally I think. Good enough result for me to enjoy after 9 mins in the oven.
-
Pizza with whatever came to hand. From memory was mozz, onion, mushrooms, fresh basil from the garden, bacon and sweetcorn. I've started to realise a lot of the success / failure in this pizza game is down to the handling of the dough. Get it right and it'll stretch evenly and yield a nice strong pizza base that will crisp nicely underneath. Get it wrong and you'll have thin spots and a weak pizza which tears.
After a long time wedded to no knead dough I've moved away from it in favour of a mixer kneaded dough with low yeast, a long counter rise then a fridge ferment. Cooking method is a Teflon mesh and fan oven on 275C for 7 or 8 mins.

Gentles. It's been a few years since they were called that!
So what are they called now, Mike ? I never knew why they were called "gentles" in the first place [1], but that was the expression I knew in my teens and therefore the expression I still use today (in my near-70's) !
** Phil.
--------
[1] But now I do :) The OED says :
3. A maggot, the larva of the flesh-fly or bluebottle, employed as bait by anglers. (Cf. A. 5.)
and gives the first attested usage as being 1578 :
1578 H. Lyte tr. R. Dodoens Niewe Herball vi. lxviii. 746 A white worme lyke a gentill.
A.5 says (of gentle, vb.)

Here we have jugged rabbit/rabbit stew I've enjoyed eating this all my life my mother
Used to cook this my older brother would catch the rabbits ! I will add further images when served tomorrow with Yorkshire pudding etc.
Updated the rabbit was very flavoursome I only added a small amount of bisto like you say Phil adding oxo etc is not always needed.
I usually have 4 peices of Yorkshire puddings with the gravy only just to get started
-
One of my all-time favourites (also learned from my mother) but in her/my case it was/is rabbit pie, where I substitute leeks for your onions, omit the carrots, and add a little fresh lemon. And I /don't/ pre-boil the rabbit and then skim off the scum -- therein lies all the flavour.

Lemon that's different Phil! I occasionally add leaks but this evening it's carrots onions and pearl barley and 2 X oxo cubes I will slightly thicken it with bisto tomorrow served with home made Yorkshire puddings and mashed potatoes! Tomorrow teatime can't come soon enough
CAB.
-
Ah, yours and mine will be very different, then. For me, the gravy has to be completely unthickened, and no additional flavours (such as Oxo and Bisto) allowed to creep in -- mine is a very "purist" version (although a Knorr chicken stock pot may be allowed if the rabbit is not very flavoursome ...) :)

?? 5. Not harsh or irritating to the touch; soft, tender; yielding to pressure, pliant, supple. Obs.
Well I've been an angler for 25 years and had never heard them called gentles until about a couple of years ago when watching a fishing programme - Geoffrey Palmer I think it was... I think it's the old fashioned name. If you walked into a tackle shop nowadays and asked for a pint of gentles you may be looked at a bit funny. They are usually just called maggots with various varieties such as squatts, gozzers and pinkies! :)

In London, wanted to try a recommended Turkish Ocak Basi grill restaurant

Bad news about those balti pans Chewy. I was in Uncle's the other day and the guy told me the factory that makes the pan has closed down due to the owner passing away. Uncle's bought the last 4000! He's got another manufacturer lined up to make something "similar but not quite the same".

Thanks Rich. I simply use a sorbet scoop then roll the between my palms to smooth the surface. I was using a fancy dancy falafel press imported from Israel but found it took far longer. deep fried at 175C for five mins they are pretty much foolproof and always taste great.

Hi Mick. No problem, I have added it here: http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,14654.0.html
It probably reads as fussy and involved but I've tried to give you every detail to take the guesswork out of it and allow you to reproduce it exactly. It does rely on use of a stand mixer but I'm sure you could knead by hand if required. You can scale down as required, personally I find it ideal to make dough for 6 pizzas at a time and have them ready to go from the freezer (as long as I can plan ahead to allow time to defrost). The pizza in the pic above was made from a frozen doughball, so freezing really doesn't hurt the dough.

Well you guys will be waking up for your breakfast eggs soon, however you have them, but over here it's going into the afternoon and our Eastern Summer Time clocks changed back an hour over the Easter weekend so darkness now approaches earlier, as it is meant to.
I know some people hated this thread because it often had absolutely naught to do with BIR, but it is in the section where you can talk about anything other than BIR. This is not a post about Spaghetti Bog or Pizza or Mashed Potato. Still Indian inspired. :P so I hope it's acceptable. ;)
If all goes to plan this afternoon, and it may not, my dinner will be (hopefully) a nice light refreshing meal of Tandoori Chicken Maryland (6 pieces already marinating which should be enough for 2 of us), Prawn Biryani (prawns defrosting and basmati soaking), Sri Lankan Tempered Potatoes (Urad and Chana dals soaking and this is yummy) and Fresh Garden Salad (well it's just salad so nothing is happening yet). With any luck I might even get to do a couple of Papp's with Mango Chutney. Sadly no Cheese Naan tonight. :(
My wife is wanting light food ie: not gravy curries. :( I still want spice. ;D If it goes to plan I may be able to post some photos.

It was all delicious Gav. I managed 3 tandoori Maryland but dearest wifey only did 1. Leftovers for lunch today. ;D They were very nice and moist, very tasty plus very simple to make. I followed the B'ham Balti Co book recipe but substituted tandoori Masala for the recommended chilli powder and marinated for only a couple of hours. Cheap too at about AUS $1 / piece cooked. That's like nearly 2 for
-
Good looking dinner Livo
I would have ignored the wife and snuck a Vindaloo Dip
in there for a bit background heat and contrast. ;)
Just guessing but is Maryland an Ozzie expression for a Chicken Quarter.?
cheers Chewy
-
Yep. In Australia the term "Chicken Maryland" simply refers to a butcher's cut for a whole leg consisting of the thigh and drumstick.
Makes a wicked tandoori cut and they were on sale. It was all quite tame chilli wise but still hit the spot.
-
Thanks, that clears that up, just never seen it written.
Its lost on most, but historically BIR Tandoori Chicken is always
Baby/Spring chicken, 700gm max. In the Halal Butchers they even call
the young Chickens, Tandoori Chickens. Current price 3 for 6 quid.
A bit of trivia for you Livo ;D ;D

I seem to remember my mother making Chicken Maryland a few times back in the 70's at home. She was always doing 'strange food' (I was 13).. Chilli with cornbread, vienna schnitzel for example. The maryland and the chilli with cornbread would usually coincide with her coming back from her Canadian holidays. :-\

Fresh Keema Balti
Mutton mince, Peas and Peppers and Green Chilli.
Cooked from scratch, around 20mins, served with Tawa Naan
Lovely supper Josephine
I agree, Love keema and peas (with a few potatoes for good measure) :P :P
-
There were no interruptions and it all went to plan.
Well you guys will be waking up for your breakfast eggs soon, however you have them, but over here it's going into the afternoon and our Eastern Summer Time clocks changed back an hour over the Easter weekend so darkness now approaches earlier, as it is meant to.
I know some people hated this thread because it often had absolutely naught to do with BIR, but it is in the section where you can talk about anything other than BIR. This is not a post about Spaghetti Bog or Pizza or Mashed Potato. Still Indian inspired. :P so I hope it's acceptable. ;)
If all goes to plan this afternoon, and it may not, my dinner will be (hopefully) a nice light refreshing meal of Tandoori Chicken Maryland (6 pieces already marinating which should be enough for 2 of us), Prawn Biryani (prawns defrosting and basmati soaking), Sri Lankan Tempered Potatoes (Urad and Chana dals soaking and this is yummy) and Fresh Garden Salad (well it's just salad so nothing is happening yet). With any luck I might even get to do a couple of Papp's with Mango Chutney. Sadly no Cheese Naan tonight. :(
My wife is wanting light food ie: not gravy curries. :( I still want spice. ;D If it goes to plan I may be able to post some photos.
Livo this all looks delicious, I really hope your wife appreciated all the effort and skills it takes to produce great food. This is something I keep reminding my Wife. ;D
-
That's a nice looking keema and naan chewy. I might have to dig out my keema matar (lamb mince and peas) recipe and baltify it.
LC, the cheese and kisses certainly does appreciate the cooking I do, but she is concerned that the heavy, rich and creamy curries might be adding more calories than desired. She looks good to me but says she is having wardrobe difficulties. Less Korma and cheese naan, more salad.and boiled rice. For her that is. ;)

Haha! Perfect reply Livo, yes why do women insist and obsess with looking so trim. I keep insisting my wife needs more Korma in her life, maybe I will try your recommendation for the cheese Naan. I have been away from my kitchen for a week now and my choice of food has been drastically limited, my body is craving spice and rich creamy goodness :P

Fresh Keema Balti...with Tawa Naan.
A lovely supper, indeed, Chewy. Delicious-looking fare!

Great looking forward Livo and Chewy :)

The other nights supper - Dirty Donner
I've been gagging for a donner recently but I think the takeaways near me have all shut up shop due to the lurgy. So, of course, now I want one even more!
Also I really, really hate it when they just plonk the meat onto the pitta instead of opening the pitta up and filling it. Winds me up no end and is the way all takeaways round here now do it. Lazy sods.

Lol, thankfully my guy does it right and he is remaining open. My excuse for some daily exercise and essential food shopping. And I get to see and talk to another human being.

Spot on, Dave! I used to enjoy this thread originally started by the much-missed loveitspicy/Rich. There was a guy who made a business out of cooking and selling food in far-flung Thailand, unlike most of us happy home-based amateurs here.
There are so few positive CR0 stalwarts left nowadays, the forum needs another jag to keep it interesting. I'm right behind you on this one, mate!
The other nights supper - Dirty Donner
And this seems like a perfect time to try out loveitspicy's Doner-in-a-Tin - the one I said I would do years ago and never quite got around to it! Well, if I can buy minced lamb in the rapidly-emptying shops, that is!
-
Always loved this game.
This is what happens when you take leftover Bengali dhansak (traditional) and think to yourself - I love dhansak and I love dal palak. Why don't I add some frozen spinach to my dhansak as I need to get my vegetables in and I'm not supposed to go to the store?
Lesson learned - if you add too much spinach all you taste is spinach. Not very good at all...
-
Could have been worse - you could have had kale instead of spinach! As a Scot, I love my porridge, but kale is just a step too far!
-
Not tea but breakfast
Grilled bacon, tomato, egg on toast with a good splash of my hot chilli ketchup
Brilliant kick start to the day
-
One of my favs is half a tsp of Mr Naga pickle in a tin of beans microwaved and poured over wholemeal toast spread thinly with peanut butter, a kick with texture
-
I did the doner-in-a-tin. The meat worked out quite well actually. The real trick is mastering the sauces. Lebanese / pita bread is easy to come by. Fresh salad, tabbouleh and hummus are easy. It's all in the sauce IMHO.
Tonight was Pizza night at the Livo's place. Pizza from scratch is a big day Aussie style, (yes, pineapple and prawns). Not much left though and number 2 daughter made a desert pizza with the one leftover base.
Eight in total. Everybody makes their own. Meat-lovers with pepperoni and Barbecue sauce for the boys (sacrilege). Hawaiian with prawns for number 1 daughter (I'm quite partial to this as well). Wifey and number 2 daughter go with a satay base sauce, BBQ chicken breast, roast pumpkin, feta cheese, baby spinach and mushroom, while I prefer the more Mediterranean savory style of topping.

I picked some up some lamb mince in Aldi last week for home made doner. I have used beef mince before with good results. Its just about scratching that itch that most men seem to have :umy: :umy: :smile2: :smile2:
And let me know what its like as i'm always up for some homemade kebab. Most of the ones I've done lately have involved some doner mixed spices from various places. Still nice though.

Excellent looking dish MA, i bought myself some turkish skewers with brass handels on eBay, they've got 6mm wide blades which stops the meat turning on its own, also i suppose with a larger cross sectional area the heat transfer on the inside should be better.

Good to see the feeding frenzy continuing :like: I decided to forgo the planned dinner for last night and end up cooking a hot vindaloo with my keema rice. Unlike many I prefer my curry with a thicker sauce :umy:

The last few I've done, I've just done in foil on the BBQ and unwrapped halfway to add a bit colour. Last one was a course texture as missus prefers it like that(I think its like meatloaf :confusing3: ). I like mine blitzed in the processor to give it that friday night kebab texture when cooked.

Still looks good Romain. Pizzas on my 'lockdown' list as I've not really cooked any at home for a couple of years. Simples my favourite, sauce, cheese, fresh basil.
I really want to do some Lahmacun (turkish Pizza) as well as its really nice. I used lime juice and coriander on mine the last time and it was lovely. Rick Stein has a video on them although theres plenty recipes on the internet.

Ah! True food porn such as has rarely graced this forum for so long! It's great to read again about food cooked from scratch.
The last few I've done, I've just done in foil on the BBQ and unwrapped halfway to add a bit colour.
I watched a video of a similar, oven-based technique today, Gav, and decided that was the way to go. Sadly, my lamb mince has been posted missing from the freezer! I'll get some more this week and put up some photos (for good or ill) when it's done.

This is the only pizza dough i use https://youtu.be/kRJNedh2IFk its got a lovely taste to it,i take no notice of the quantities,if i am making a pizza for 1 or 10 i simply blend enough yogurt into self raising flour to make a ball of dough,it works every time

I've never seen that before. Interesting. Super handy he gave instructions on self-rising flour as well. That comes up a lot in naan discussions and nobody sells it here...
Is the guy in the video right do folks know? 1 cup of flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp of salt? Does anyone have this type of recipe in bakers weights?
For Neo style pizza like I posted above I use salt, flour, water and yeast and a 2 day (cool) room temperature ferment.
-
1 cup flour = 120 g
1.5 tsp baking powder = 6 g.
This is 5% which is at the upper limit of 3 - 5 % used in most self-raising. Not all countries have salt added.
Yogurt (acid) reacts with baking powder (base) for fizz. Double acting baking powder give second rise in heat of oven.
I'm not sure about Bakers percentages with this 2 ingredient dough. Theoretically it is around 160% hydrated which would be a very wet dough but it doesn't look to be too wet at all. Yogurt is around 80% water. 1 cup is 245 g so about 200 ml water. 1 cup of flour is only 120 g which is your 100% reference. Typically a pizza dough is only around 60% - 65% hydrated so I have no idea how 160+% isn't too wet to work with.
After having tried wet dough handling (aarrrggghhh!!!) you really have to appreciate the skill of people like this.

Had my first go at Lamb Raan today, I did it as per recipe in the book Made in India Cooke in Britain, personally I think it could have benefited from 36 hour marination then bbq rather than oven.
-
From memory mickyp, I ended up marinating for an extra day and cooked by hanging in the tandoor. It was very nice but I do remember thinking it still tasted very much like lamb, which is fine because I like it. I used the same recipe but added bits and pieces from others.
Tonight I'll be doing Calzones again with 36 hour cold ferment pizza dough from a sour dough starter and using my first ever home made mozzarella and ricotta cheeses. I'll follow TFD Hirshon Spicy Cheesy and Meaty Italian-American Calzones again. I experimented with these last week and they are really good. Plus they make a really easy cold lunch for my son. He's fortunate enough to be still working.
I made the cheese last night and it is great. Can't wait to test it out. Spicy sauce today and to the shops for meats. Ham, pepperoni, cabanosi and speck bacon.

Kidney dry curry (Ranjit Rai). Which turned out to be a complete and utter waste of time. Not only did I have to cook two lots of onions / garlic / ginger / tomato (because the first batch was too dark and clearly never going to turn into the mild brown emulsion required), the final dish lacked any interest whatsoever. I ended up putting the kidney pieces into some left-over curry sauce

This was last night's dinner. Syed's 7 Curries and Rice. Clockwise from the bottom. Vegetable Pasanda, Chicken Pasanda, Chicken Korma, Bombay Aloo, Chicken Madras, Butter Chicken, CTM. Not shown Deep naan.
Photo taken before heating so the sauces are still cold and quite solid but you get the idea. Delicious.
-
I know it's breakfast time over there but this was dinner just now. Dry White Toast.
Nah. Not really. Center plate is a Cauliflower rice Rosti. Some leftover turmeric rice and Basic Chicken Curry (Syed's), Syed's Chicken Bhuna / Rogan (2 curries 1 pan) and reheated Authentic Kashmiri Muslim Waza Rogan Josh. Delicious. Curry Nirvana at last.
PS. Santa, the Syed Chicken Rogon may not be how you make Rogon Josh and it certainly isn't Authentic Kashmiri Lamb RJ, but you really do need to give this dish a go. It is great.

Yes, I don't doubt it's a good curry and I'll eventually get around to making it. Probably with your micro version of the base. It was the idea that a RJ is a bhuna with a topping ... nahh!
-
I'm afraid that that was also my thought, although I have little doubt that some (many ? most ?) BIRs may well prepare one in that way ...
** Phil.
-
Hell of a lot of oil there mate.
-
Garp, you are right. The lamb RJ had a layer of orange fat in the container when cold. I should have removed it before heating. I also felt that the bhuna / RJ was oily (see below. probably my own fault). Oil doesn't bother me and the meal was delicious.
I didn't actually measure the oil into the pan but simply squirted some out of my sauce bottle and I think I was a bit heavy handed on the butter ghee. After the Base Gravy went in I used the chef spoon to remove probably 1 1/2 TBSP of oil as it reduced. I put this back into the Base Gravy pot.
My recent research into Rogah Josh has shown that even the basic Indian version (Mrs Singh), while having some tomato, is not really a tomato based curry. The Kashmiri versions contain no tomato. Many restaurant's advertise RJ as tomato based and I have prepared recipes with a heavy tomato component. Also RJ is sometimes cooked as a 2 part dish, in BIR anyway, so I guess that's where Syed is coming from with this one. To be honest there isn't a huge difference between the 2 dishes from the same pan, but that doesn't stop them from being really good.

No Phil. Still chips and made from potato (unless you go to the Golden Arches where they are called fries and who knows what they are).

Looks great, Bob-A-Job! Extra gravy FTW :owsome:
CTM confession: I never make my own, but I occasionally order one in, and then fry it all up with a load of green chilli. It takes it up a level, with the all-pervading sweetness of the sauce punctuated by random bursts of heat.
