Title: The Vindaloo, Broadway, Grays - last night's supper
Post by: curryhell on January 05, 2016, 11:00 PM
Visited the TA which jb has been patronising regularly as a customer and has posted about recently on the forum.  He's now getting in there as much as he can and sharing the info on how they prep and cook their dishes with the rest of us.  See the latest thread here:

http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,14226.0.html

I don't think my photographic skills really show all the dishes at their best, but the flavour was certainly there.  I will be returning to sample more of their food.

Anyway, to the porn.  First up, lids off and it's smelling good

The main event, tasting very nice, great texture, reasonable vindaloo heat with a repeat order coming soon

My staple side of saag aloo, don't let pictures deceive you on this one, tasty and not oily as my pic may suggest

Now the real test, the brinjal bhaji, it wasn't to be found lacking - YUM

All dished up and ready to go

Wait a minute.... I'm sure if I cross my eyes when I look at that brinjal bhaji I can make out a message....!

It says..... "Cooked by JB"

Who knew?!

That looks gorgeous and I am more than slightly jealous...I'm in France with work and there is no BIR establishment in sight...Lovely porn indeed.

Probably for the best, never heard a good review of a French Indian Restaurant

Yes, sadly true... though I have had some good pakoras and stuffed chillies. Right now, however, I am hankering after the vindaloo, it truly is a beautiful sight.

Differences in monitors aside is the colour of the vindaloo in the second pic representative of the real thing?

And what type of rice is that?
Edit: Saw on your other post that it's keema rice and now that I know I can see the tiny pieces of keema.

Yes SS, that is pretty much the colour of the dish.  The last pic is a little darker due to the greater distance but not as dark as the first.  The TA dish colour was a shade darker than my regular TA which tends to be a more orangey golden brown whereas this was more reddy golden brown.  But the colouring of all individual dishes is pretty much spot on.
Didnt focus on the rice much as it's just rice and i can already achieve as good as my local.  Just a minor problem replicating their the vindaloo, that's all  >:(

CH is your keema rice recipe on the forum? I had a quick look and couldn't find it. Also I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a "rices" sub board  on the forum which seems strange. Or maybe I just can't see it for looking?

Rices are in the Starters & Side Dishes bit SS

Ah right. Thanks martinvic.

Not the first place I would look for rice dishes, actually not a place I would look at all for rice dishes as they're not really sides. I reckon rices should have a sub board of their own.

I would class the rice as a side, but that isn't obvious to all.  Here's the recipe:

http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,11130.0.html

The only change i've made is to fry a couple of tbsps of finely chopped onion until softened before I add the keema mince and fry it.
And yes, I still flatten my mince before adding to the pan for the reasons I explained when you asked the question SS as to why  ;)
Think we've both been around here too long  ;D

You're not kidding! That was genuinely going to be my next question. I have absolutely no recollection of discussing it before.  :o  ;D

Think they call that a senior moment  ;D  I seem to have more and more of these nowadays  :-\ I do rate the rice though.  The flavour of the keema permeates the rice during the fry and gives it a great flavour.  That's providing you've got yourself a good recipe for the keema in the first place of course  ::)
