« on: January 25, 2008, 06:32 PM »

Hi,
I'm a great fan of this site and have made quite a few curries...

am curious of opinions of whether to marinade defore adding to recipes

ive followed sauces and added chicken but sometimes i think BIR must marinade instead of just adding raw chicken to cook...

Does anyone marinade chicken before adding to sauces and if so in what?

regards

Hi,
I thought I's pass this on.
If you have a TKMAX store in your area they have Zwilling J.A.Henckles knives at massive reduction...not sure if any seconds..but have Henckles funky red men.. marked down from 60/80 quid each to 16/12/9 quid..and paring knife 5.99.....I bought one to test and like a razor.went back and bought around 6 diff knives.Really delighted with them and better than the couple of Globals I have.

maybe not for u but I can definately recommend.

regards

Supplementary Recipes Chat / Marinating

« on: December 28, 2006, 03:49 PM »

Hi and festive cheer to you all..

I have a great recipe for a chicken kurma and perfect sauce..I sometimes feel the chicken is dipped in the sauce tho rather than having its own bite.

Anyone have any tips if they marinade the chicken before cooking in sauce and if so any tips of what to marinade with..

I would welcome advice on when it's appropriate to use food coloring in a curry and the the timing of when it should be applied.
