Title: Chom Chom
Post by: Razor on May 06, 2015, 03:54 PM

Hi guy's.

Hoping one of you can help an old friend in need.

I'm throwing a curry night at mine to celebrate my up and coming birthday and one of my guests have requested a 'Chicken Chom Chom'.  Now then, in my arrogance, I have assured him that he will get something that resembles his restaurant favourite but in truth, I have no idea what it is or have ever even heard of it?  Knowing my mates, it could be a wind up but just in case, have any of you fine people heard of the said "Chom Chom" or indeed, have a recipe.

Many thanks in advance,

Ray  :)

Hi Lez,

Many thanks for the recipe but I was under the impression that it was an actual curry with a sauce?  Maybe I will have to clarify with him what it actually is or certainly what he thinks it is. 

It's my fault, I should have to told him, he's having a bhuna and he can lump it (Mancunian expression).

Hi Phil, thanks for the 'welcome back'

Mebbe this one ?

49. CHICKEN CHOM CHOM   
Marinated barbecue chicken off the bone, pan cooked with a spicy onion & tomato based sauce, in a medium, sweet & sour sauce with tarmarind, flavoured with fennel & curry leaves.

or, if he is a fellow Mancunian :

CHICKEN CHOM CHOM

Hi Phil,

The second one sounds about right as he also suggested a CTM as an alternative, and the dish that you describe seem quite close in comparison, with the addition of onions and peppers.

Thanks Phil, that something to work with.

There seems to be a lot of variation in this Err dish,  ;D

Certainly is... Bhuna style dish with crispy fired onions and egg.

Yeah Gav Iscon, I'd seen that version too.  I think he's going to have to have a bhuna and crack on that it's a Chom Chom.  He'll be sozzled anyway, so his ignorance will be my saving grace  ;D
