Pictures of Your Curries / Extra hot chicken madras and H4ppy naan

« on: July 05, 2014, 06:45 AM »

Last nights tea was especially nice.
Don't know really what I did different but the naan dough was so soft I knew they would be awesome and they were.

Chicken Madras (Normal and extra hot. Theirs is in the foil trays

)

Chicken Tikka

Shami Kebabs

Plain Naan (can't convert them on that one)

This was my prep....

Had texts and phone calls saying they were the best kebabs/ curry they had taste. (Biased? maybe but I was grateful for the praise

)
Thanks for all the help guys!

Starters and Side Dishes Chat / Lamb kebabs (not BIR style)

« on: March 16, 2014, 07:34 PM »

I don't know if you would try this recipe but it is lovely. We had them for tea tonight and I do cook them quite often. I wonder if they are similar to a sheek kebab? defo in shape which can be a little off putting due to the colour of the kebab

This is the link to the recipe

BIR Main Dishes Chat / What's your fav madras recipe?

« on: March 15, 2014, 11:01 PM »

Hi,
After joining here a little over a month ago I made the Zaal base (with some missing ingedients but with good results) and then this week made again with full ingredients (I would use a little less cinnamon in the base next time).
The second lot is a bit spicier as I used hot madras curry powder (my curries tend to be HOT!) I have experimented with CA's spice mix last month and am currently using Abduls 8 spice mix (as that is in my base) with good/ tasty results with both using a variation of 976bars madras recipe from Andy Rhodes e-book.

Just wondered what your all time fave Madras recipe is though as this week I want to try a couple of different ones and compare the flavours, cheers

Made this for my dinner today (You may say lunch) and it was delicious. I used 3 tablespoons of chopped tinned toms instead of puree and boiled spuds in bit of mixed spice as I am out of Turmeric. I will be making it again.....maybe for tea as it was so nice

Hi Guys,
Took this up for my mum and dad's tea tonight. It's the third takeaway I have done them in 3 weeks. They only have plain naan so it doesn't have that buttery sheen but I think they are hooked

Tonights 4 naan's and Chicken Madras went with homemade onion chutney, mango chutney, lime pickle and a pack of poppadoms

Curry Base Chat / Kashmiri Mirch / Deggi Mirch

« on: February 15, 2014, 05:28 PM »

So I ordered some spices online as I thought I could not source locally (I can...Duh!!!)
I got some Kashmiri mirch and then today in a local ethnic supermarket I got the Deggi mirch but on the packaging it is descibed as Kashmiri chilli. Is it not the same?
Is it a different blend?
Sorry for being a dimwit but I am trying to give myself a crash course in BIR cooking
