Breads (Naan, Puri, Chapatti, Paratha, etc) / Re: Shaan paratha
« on: May 10, 2019, 03:41 PM »
Hi ED
Shana brand are ok, but I prefer IBCO Plain Butter Paratha, usually get mine from the local
Asian store and been using them for about 6 or 7 years! consistently spot on, super flaky and delicious.
Factory machine made and very hard to match, making your own from scratch.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: How do you know when... they are better than average?
« on: May 07, 2019, 01:28 PM »
A lot of fake news involved in these media reports.

A Beef Madras, Mushroom Pilau, Tarka Dal, Garlic Naan
Would be my benchmark order at somewhere new or untried.

A Biryani is not a difficult rice dish and is not usually prepared by the Curry Chef
The side cook or even the Tandoori cook will put together a Biryani (very simple)
One of the most profitable dishes a Take Away or Restaurant will sell.

Who is Landy813? when hes at home?

Welcome to the banter part of cR0 jscottbarate ;)

When you start posting, dont forget photos of your efforts.
It kind of backs up a post, rather than just reading more spurious musings of late.

Spot On Naga  8)

Inspiration for home cooks IMO is what this site is all about

Your Pork Chops look great and any kind of Bhorta recipe is worth exploring
as they can be amazing.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Curry powder vs Garam Masala

Chewy, I am not sure of brand names - I tend not to pay attention to them. I have 3 Indian grocery stores in my metro area (1 of which, sadly, burned down recently thanks to a fire in a neighbouring building, so is in unknown state of pay whether or not they will return).

I think I have seen Rajah brand, but don't want to swear to that - I have mainly been sourcing the basic spices to blend myself. I wanted all along to develop a house flavour, hence getting the raw spices in bulk.

I have a curry powder from my local restaurant supply store, which is "Chef's Quality" brand, which appears on most of my spices  ;) - it's a moderately hot curry blend, but rather bland, hence making my own curry powder and garam masala from scratch. Also hence my confusion on the roles of curry powder vs garam masala  :D

Good luck with making your own blends, always good fun ;) ;D
Kirkland does seem a popular US brand of spices.

Tandoori Dishes / Re: Murgh Makhani (Butter Chicken)

SLs earlier attempt at these housewives home video recipe, used base gravy and less butter
http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=8087.msg71392#msg71392

Murgh Makhani/ Butter Chicken is more of an Indian authentic, popular and mild curry.
Thousands of tomato based recipes for it. Think spiced Tomato Gravy, Cream and Butter or Ghee.
Not the same flavour as a BIR CTM.

Not something I make, as Bangladeshi restaurants do not sell it.
But it is being requested more and more, so I will probably post a recipe eventually.

cheers Chewy
