Cooking Equipment / Re: I've bitten the bullet and bought the best knife in the world!!

at which point her false teeth dropped out of her mouth onto my head, which scared the living Shit out of me and I ran for cover under the kitchen table.... (I've been on therapy ever since!! lol)...

Hilarious!!

Give it a go mate and let us know the results. I gotta say my fermenting wine doesn't smell the best at this point.
All normal though according to wine makers forums.

I swear forums are what the tinternet was made for .

Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / Re: rc model aircraft
« on: November 11, 2012, 12:32 PM »
Hi Steve,
Yep, u could say I'm into RC aircraft. My garage is full of them from hotliners to sailplanes. My favourite gas got to be my flair magnatilla though.(although my wot4 Is great fun also) Built it with my dad around '85 and have flown it pretty much yearly ever since.even flew it at a show in Germany once.

Always wanted a gas turbine(I am an aircraft engineer by trade-currently with Easyjet)

The kj66 has been around some time and has good spares/support when u need.

Where do u fly?

Yeah, I think it was the lifetime sharpening that sold it for me. I've bought diamond Fischer steels in the past and ruined knives, whetstones, that are much better, but still not perfect and the  minosharp 3 whetstone wheels that are brilliant(I've posted about them on here before) but as u say u can't beat factory sharp.

They also told me they keep their edge very well and will only need sharpening once or twice a year. Weather this is sales bull is yet to be seen though.

I have to admit I am a sucker for a bit of Steel as well. Although not paying those kind of prices, the collection is coming along nicely :)





I admit it is a bit much for one knife, but the way I did to the better half is cooking curries is my relaxation time at weekends, I have bought a fair few knives over the years, and although quite pleased (last ones were 'b' grade henckles from tk maxx) I've always thought they could be sharper. I also find other than a bread knife and on rare occasions a paring knife, I always grab the same chefs knife, so this one fitted the bill. It will last my lifetime(bloody well better 'ad) and when it needs sharpening I send it to them free of charge to get it done.
As my mum always used to say 'never buy cheap tools!!'

Well, I'm pretty pleased with it anyhow!,
Today I dragged the other 'arf to Olympia bbc good food show , with the intention of getting a belated birthday pres she owes me and a knife from 'Kin Knives'
Well, no coffee machine as surprisingly there were none on show, but the knives were there, and to top it all the limited 'Gordon Ramsay' knife was on offer from ?145 to ?100!!
Happy days!
Tis the sharpest knife ive ever handled(and the most expensive by about ?90 I've ever bought)
It had better last a lifetime!
Gotta mind the ol pinkies now!

Also got a few tubs of naga chili pickles, naga olives and tamarind pickle.

I also allowed her to buy some cheese, as long as it had chilli in it!!

Curry on chaps!!

British Indian Restaurant Recipe Requests / Re: Wanted: chicken naga recipe
« on: July 06, 2012, 05:37 PM »
Great question though Nutterjack,

I know just what you mean-I love a Chicken Naga from my local BIR-Its the only curry I order now, as thanks to this site, I feel I make superior 'Standard' curries than they do.

Does anyone know where you can buy fresh nagas from?

Rice (Plain, Pilau, Special, etc) / Re: Curryhell's Pilau rice - yet another recipe
« on: July 03, 2012, 05:09 PM »
This reply is kind of a bounce for the post really, as I think this is one of the best pilau recipes on here(Especially when used with Dipurajas Mushroom recipe)

Madras / Re: CA's Chicken Madras
« on: April 13, 2012, 12:18 PM »
Cooked this last night(albeit without the spiced oil) and as usual it was fantastic.

I added some Mr Naga chilli paste also and it gave it a lovely Naga flavour.

Highly Recommend to make it a tad different.
