Hi
I have just joined too. What a great site! I was intrigued by the UCB and made the one which came with a set of balti pans ( as it looked the easiest) straight away. I had some very good results by following the recipe given for chicken madras. I will try the Darthphall one asap.
I use a lot of authentic Indian recipes too, and in fact am going to be cooking up a big dinner for eight friends tomorrow night with the following mixture:
Chicken Tikka (starter)
Main
Beef and Mushroom curry (Madhur Jaffrey)
Lamb Madras (Tamil Nadu style)(cookery book)
Balti Chicken
Mushrooms with yoghurt and spices (recipe book - very good recipe already tried)
Spicy chips (recipe book)
Beetroot rice
Sag Bajhi
Dessert? Who knows? Not my speciality!
I will let you know how it goes!
Schweiky ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi schweiky and welcome aboard, not strictly a dessert this but nice all the same, mango lassi - seen floyd do it on his floyd on india series, it's just mango flesh, greek yougurt and milk blitzed in a blender - serve cool it's delish :P

Hi schweiky, looks like you've got you work cut out for you there! Definitely be interested to see if you pull it off. Like Kev said I'd definitely go for a mango lassi as an accompanying drink, it really does compliment hot curries. Desserts just don't seem that popular in Indian restaurants do they? I usually end up opting for a kulfi. You could try mango filled samosas dusted with icing sugar, served with any sort of kulfi or icecream.
-
A big welcome to both of you, get cooking! ;D

Hi schweiky,
If you have time in between cooking would love to See some photos of your curry banquet.
Good luck and welcome.

Well, the banquet went very well but not at all as I'd planned. There were less people and I ended up being given a beautiful fresh whole leg of lamb the day before so decided to do that roasted Muglai style (spicy marinade with cloves and almonds)..it was just too nice to cube into a curry. It was fantastic (if I say so myself)and I was relieved as hell as I hadn't already tried it. To go with it I did a spicy mashed potato (which was very popular and disappeared in around five minutes although i didn't rate it myself), the beetroot rice (very nice), the mushrooms (excellent..garlic, chilli, ricotta cheese and mint and coriander), a tomato and onion dish with spices and coriander and mango for dessert! Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't take any photos but I will next time. I wish I had because the lamb looked something else when it came out of the oven with a kind of spicy crust and loads of toasted marinade around the bottom of the pan! Wow..what a centrepiece. It would make a great celebration (Xmas etc) meal if anyone is interested I can put the recipe down for you.
Then the next day I cooked for my parents and made a karahi lamb, tandoori chicken and used the left over veg! I was bloody knackered!
Anyway, thanks for the ideas. ;D

welcome to cr0 RB and Schweiky 8)
Schweiky...I don't suppose you'd like to post your roasted lamb recipe (or any others you may have) would you? :)
-
I have posted the lamb recipe for you if you are interested in the authentic section. I have another which I made up/adapted from two other recipes. It is a lot cheaper as it only involves a chicken but it is quite complex. You wouldn't find it in an indian restaurant but is probably one of the best things I've ever eaten. Again, it's a banquet dish and look superb. Want me to post?
