Nice to see your Vindaloo glistening in the light SR, very tasty looking food here.
Thanks CarpCarp! Yes and still some left for dinner tonight  ;)

SoberRat, a nice old Fender (or a really nice shiny new one) will set you back a bit more than a mobile phone. 
It certainly will Livo  ;D I know it too well haha! A neighbor of mine had a 1966 fender strat that wasn't in the best of health and she sold it for 15 grand!

You and me both, Rob! :)

PS: Your curries look great - as usual!
Thanks Naga. Off topic I know but below are the two most recent, but not that recent, reasons why I avoid guitar shops! Last is a rather rare guitar that I've had for 30 years.
Can any of you guitarists name them all? :D





All the best

Just realised, theres NO massive oil slick in your curries.

I used 2 tablespoons (measuring spoon) in the vindaloo and 1 tablespoon in the passanda. The vindaloo was very oily after I reduced the first ladle of base but it turned out just right for me. I do get the occasional oily curry but I tend to be conservative with the amount of oil that goes into my base and final curry.

All the best

Looking good. Love a vindaloo; cider vinager and black pepper a must, never tried jaggery though...

What Pasananda recipe did you use, still a dish I've never cracked?
Thanks Fried! I agree on the black pepper and I think I will use vinegar in the future. I normally add a squirt of ketchup which has a bit of sweetness so that is the only reason I added the jaggery, it was just under half a teaspoon, after a quick taste it just needed a bit of balancing.
I don't know how authentic the passada I cook is, I've never eaten a restaurant passanda! The recipe I used was very similar to this  http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=14371.0 but I didn't use any masala sauce.or ground cloves.

All the best

Thanks for the links Livo! They look like really nice dishes. I do like spinach so Palak Paneer sounds good too.

Another splendid feast, Rob! Looking very delicious!
Thanks Naga, 3 of my guests were visiting from Brazil so they had never had anything quite like it.

Really authentic looking Indian food, did you have a favourite curry?

Thanks CC. It's hard to say which curry is my favourite but among the list are Vindaloo, Dhansak, Madras and Pathia, it's nice that I don't have to call the local takeaway so often now!  ;D

I agree, phone shops are something I try to avoid. Guitar shops I avoid for different reasons, kid in a candy store unfortunately :D

All the best

Thanks

Thanks for your comment Livo. I don't have that many types of vinegar in my cupboard but I have to say the apple cider vinegar worked a treat in this Vindaloo.
And there is nothing quite like the smell in the kitchen when a Vindaloo is being cooked!

Looking very good SR. :P
What camera phone are you using, pics look great ;)

Thanks CT! I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, the light over the table is a daylight LED 100w equivalent bulb.

All the best

Thanks Livo, I like the sound of fried paneer, will have to look into that for a dish.

Best

That chicken looks nice and juicy Livo, I haven't made Naan bread for a long time so I should really get around to it again.

All the best

Vindaloo looks lovely, not had one for ages. I'm a  vinegar and  potato man, myself.
Made some base tonight so just need to decide on what curry  :)
Thanks Gav Iscon! Same for me it's the first vindaloo I've made for about a year so it had to have potato in it tonight and I did like the tang from the vinegar.
