Tandoori and Tikka / Re: Chewy
« on: October 14, 2018, 11:26 PM »
I'd already cooked a roast chicken, then a leg of lamb for the extended family dinner so the foil convection tray I used was a little worse for wear.  I just fashioned one out of foil and did these tandoori legs up for about 10 minutes on full heat and then removed the foil and briefly grilled them on direct heat to get some charring happening.  Even though Tandoori chicken did not exactly fit in with a traditional roast dinner they were delicious.  Both the recipe and cooking method are good to go.  I will work on a better system for suspending the skewers above the foil for contactless cooking. I think Tikka will work pretty well too. ;D  I can't wait to do a Tandoori whole bird.  Next Indian Banquet night might have to come around pretty quick.

I will add that the Baby Q cooked a 2.0 kg chicken in 1 hour 10 minutes and a 2.5 kg Rosemary Garlic leg of lamb in 1 hour 40 and they were cooked to perfection.  Delicious.  Due to the number of dinner guests I had to do the Roast Veggies in the kitchen oven.

I picked up 4 whole chicken legs for only AUS $3.00 today so I've got them skinned, scored to the bone and in Marinade #1 right now. Marinade #2 is made up and I'll be cooking them tomorrow evening. Mine will be Tandoori food colour orange instead of pillar box red. 

I've just obtained a brand new Weber Baby Q so I'll probably try cooking them in that tomorrow afternoon. It's not a tandoor oven but it is trying something different and it should do the job.  I'd like to try a whole bird done this way but I'll see how the legs go first.

British Indian Restaurant Recipe Requests / Re: Mango Chicken

I was going to ask a question of Chewy Tikka here about Base Gravy but I think I've answered my own question.  I just looked back to page 2 of this thread at the Base Gravy video and then also revisited the Malai Makhoni video.  My question was going to be about the apparent "paleness" of the base gravy in the latter, but I now think it is just down to lighting. When Chewy's arm, or the tilt of the pan, causes shadow the orange colour returns.

I'm happy with the results I'm getting with my Mango Chicken now but I'm still not there 100%.  I think I'm going to need to strip the base gravy down to an extremely neutral onion base and reduce the mixed powder quantity to really allow the Mango to take over the dish.  I'm also not liking the grainy texture of the Almond flour.  Once it absorbs moisture the individual particles swell up.  This is not present in the dish I'm trying to achieve.  I'll experiment with Almond milk or perhaps even Essence.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: 3 Days of Curry

Naga, I had a big lie down last night.  A big feed indeed and I'll be eating curry all week.  Due to unforeseen events 4 dinner guests couldn't make it but those who did had a good feed. All dishes were delicious and it all comes down to this forum for me.  ;) :)

The 2 Lamb dishes were my favorites, followed by the Balti Mirgh Makhani.  First time I've done the Peshewari Gosht but it wont be the last. I watched an episode of Red Dwarf one time and it mentioned Peshewari naan. I need to investigate that now.

I didn't take pics Chewy. My daughter snapchatted (whatever that is) a picture of the full table spread to her friend but apparently these images aren't like photos. I'll see if I can get it from her phone.  No fancy table set though.  All served in disposable foil trays to allow simultaneous reheat in a low oven.

Thanks Ct. Not too different to what I've been doing but some interesting additional ingredients in both stages that I'll investigate.

I use yogurt. I have read some "Food Science" writings about the length of marination time and pros V cons.


I have another Q for you about your base gravy but I'll ask on the Mango Chicken thread where you posted you video on Malai Makhoni for me.

Lets Talk Curry / 3 Days of Curry
« on: October 06, 2018, 11:29 PM »
The weather here has produced 100 mm of rain since Thursday afternoon.  So what do you do? Off to the shops Friday morning and cook a family feast for Sunday dinner. Friday afternoon was spent making new batches of 3 hour LCD base gravy and Balti Makhani gravy. Saturday I pre-cooked 1.5 kg of chicken breast chunks and 1.2 kg of lamb leg chunks, marinated some tandoori drumsticks and 1 kg of Malai Tikka breast pieces and then mixed up enough naan dough for 6 big breads.
Menu
Lamb RJ, Peshawari Gosht instead, Lamb Korma, Murgh Makhani, Chewy's Malai Makhoni,  plus Mango Chicken, Chicken Madras, Kashmiri Chicken, (Ran out of pre-cooked chicken) Garden vegetable Navratan, Rajmah Masala, plain and cheese naan, pappadoms w/ mango chutney and pilau rice and some sambal. If I have time I might make a chicken pea curry as well. No Chick pea but added Tempered Potato instead. Tandoori Chicken w/ salad.
It's Sunday morning here now and I've lost an hour due to the start of daylight savings. Dinner is served at 7.00 pm. Rainy days are great for curry cooking. ;D

3.00 pm Menu changes made. Nearly there. Big day cooking.

I've searched your videos Chewy but cant find one for Tandoori Chicken.  I know I wont be able to source all of your ingredient list out here, but is your recipe listed anywhere?  I'd like to improvise and give it a go.

AKA Kala Namak.

Found this: https://www.himalayansaltfactory.com.au/about-himalayan-salt/different-colours-of-himalayan-salt/
PINK Himalayan Crystal Mineral Salt; which is what Himalayan Crystal Salt is more commonly known as. Pink Himalayan Salt is pink in colour with tinges of both white and red.

RED Himalayan Crystal Mineral Salt; the dark red and the orange colours in the red Himalayan Salt is due to higher iron content.

BLACK Himalayan Crystal Mineral Salt; also known as

I would love to own a tandoor. Maybe one day. That chicken looks the business.

Looks like a good feed.
Phil, forgive me if I'm wrong but I have both Himalayan pink salt and black salt (which is also pink in colour) and they are not the same.  Pink salt tastes like salt whereas Black salt is sulphurous in aroma and tastes slightly of boiled egg. As far as I know they are not the same thing.
