Lamb Karahi
I was so influenced by the chatter this week
-
Rich - thank you for the recipe but your whole post seems 'infected' with strange symbols.
For example, the first two ingredients are listed as follows, with no sign of any quantity as far as I can see.
-
Looks lovely Rich & I guess I could figure out quantities by now :)
-
Looks fantastic, I loved a Lamb Karahi when I lived in Scotland...one to try...Yeah George strange symbols, could present a problem for newer members.

I haven't seen strange symbols just bullet points before the ingredients, then on the method simple 1 - 10, what are you experiencing?
-
No problems here Rich. That dish is making my mouth water. Maybe curry for supper then ;D

Hi Guys
Oil in a pan usually a chef's spoon - or 2 tablespoon sorry!!
Garlic / ginger 1 tbsp.
the rest is listed 3 chopped onions - 8 chopped tomatoes
hope that helps
this was a very pleasant change indeed from chicken - in fact its inspired me to go and by a leg of lamb and cook some more.......
best, Rich
-

-
modified i hope
best, Rich

Hi Rich, all good can't see any symbols now. Definitely a dish to try.

I have the same problem as yourself Rich. Some members see the funny symbols as UB shows above when use apostrophes. My keyboard is set to English UK ??? ??? :-\ When i preview its fine and when i view my posts on my work laptop they're also fine. ::)

Lamb Karahi
I was so influenced by the chatter this week

Hi Bob they were smallish onions and tomatoes to be honest - this dish is very much with onion and tomato in - they virtually disappear into the sauce if you like - its great - I had a look at Rick Steins version and with just a little experience ive gained over the years i just chucked it all in, as it were......
The hardest bit to the dish was preparing the Lamb and precooking after marinating for 24 hours.. and that wasn't hard really.
Its very easy to make indeed and as a change from all the chicken curry i make it was delicious. I gave some to a friend from Chicago (out here) and he loved it.
I think next time (for me) i will add a spoonful of chili pickle and turn it into a Lamb Karahi Achari just to give it some heat
I will be making more and if i can see customers paying a higher price for Lamb dishes here, we will include it in our products.
best, Rich

I've just got back in from a night round somebodys house where myself and a comrade were cooking 2 curries. I just gave this one a try and it was first class. I used Darth phalls base with it and the results were epic. Good news is I have some left. Thank you very much for posting this great recipe.

A number of people are complaining about seeing weird symbols. I've done a basic analysis and I think this is what's going on: In the past, most computers were using a simpler text encoding scheme (ISO-8859-1) and these days most software would use a more robust and international encoding (utf-8). What happens is that prior to the forum upgrade sometime in december, the forum was storing and reporting the encoding to be in the old format (ISO-8859-1) and since the upgrade it is storing it in UTF-8, however, the server is not yet fully up to date with the new encoding and is communicating back still in the old encoding format (ISO-8859-1).
Now, until `Admin` fixes it, there is a temporary workaround. For recipes that show weird characters, try changing the encoding to utf-8.
For firefox users: menu View -> Character Encoding -> Unicode (UTF-8)
For chrome users: File( alt+f )/Menu -> tools -> encoding -> Unicode (UTF-8)
This will change those characters to the readable characters.
The "auto-detect" feature in firefox doesn't seem to work properly, but give it a try and if it works for you, use it. Chrome's autodetect seems fine in the limited testing I've done.

It is a bad thing /in your opinion/, Santa : an opinion to which you are completely entitled and with which I completely disagree.

The fact that you're the only one doing this Phil amongst a forum of several thousand should give you a clue as to which of us is right! ;)

And if you were to be the only driver doing less than 71 miles per hour on a British motorway, would you still argue that the majority are nonetheless right ?

As I said - pig headed! ;D

I agree with SS that changes to thread titles mid-way through a thread are just plain misleading, and irritating. I wish I could do something about it but I can't.
Admin - if you read this, and if you agree with SS and myself, is it possible for you to disable the thread title change option?
-
I totally agree that changing thread titles is a bad idea on this forum.
If Admin can stop it so much the better.

All three were posted within the thread "Lamb Karahi as influenced by CRO members", yet not one of those three messages has any relevance to the original thread subject whatsoever, and is just a follow-up to an unrelated point made in an earlier post. Changing the subject allows the sender to indicate that fact, rather than misleading his or her readers into believing that there may be some relevance. When I visit CR0, which I do using the URL http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?action=forum#upshrinkHeaderIC, (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?action=forum#upshrinkHeaderIC,) I scan the list of subjects and read those that are potentially of interest. "Lamb Karahi as influenced by CR0 members" is of considerable interest; character encodings somewhat less so; people's views on changing the subject line within a thread, of relatively little. Thus if /more/ use were made of the ability to change subject lines within threads (rather than seeking to have this vital feature withdrawn), access to messages of potential interest would be considerably enhanced.

I didn't read all that waffle Phil, I just think it is confusing and makes the forum harder to navigate.
Maybe we should have a vote if indeed the feature can be disabled.

If you didn't read it, Paul, then you are in no position to judge whether it is waffle or fact. Perhaps you should read more and opine less.

do you mean the thread title or, the subject of individual replies?
As for "fixing", I would think that it is of utmost importance that the admin fixes the underlying content encoding issue as a priority
