Well I gave this a go. Technique definitely has potential but the flavour wasn't what I was looking for, not close to a kebab shop and generally too "herby" so I will adjust that down next time. I did sub minced beef for lamb though, but according to the signs in my local shop the kebabs around here are made with beef (or more likely horse...).

Which one did you give a go Sv?  I'd love a good doner recipe. For me I like to do them on the BBQ or failing that i just put in the oven.. Kebab-y type things are on this years hit list to do.

Good looking spread Gav
Lamb cutlets for me ! what flavour were they?

I'd love to know as they were gone in a flash. Micky Tikkas favourite.

On the menu as Lamb Cutlet Chops (Adraki)  'Three French trimmed best end chops, marinated in our Kasmiri chilli and ginger masala - barbecued to perfection'

Well a weekend trip full of food down in London meant a meet up with forum member Micky Tikka and as the booking times at Dastann didn't work out it was back to Blue Junction in Morden for a second visit and once again it didn't disappoint.

The restaurant is Indian with some Indo-Chinese dishes. As I'm not good with lots of chili at the minute we ordered mainly 'girly curries' but I have to say I really enjoyed the Paneer Mutta with peas in. All the dishes were lovely with a special mention to the Paneer dish and also the Aubergine fingers which are fantastic. Going to have to give them a go at home.. Well worth the visit.

I got an Instant Pot electric pressure cooker for xmas. Great for base etc, Load it up, press the button and you don't have to watch it as it goes to keep warm once cooked.
