British Indian Restaurant Recipe Requests / Re: Chicken Tikka Shahee
« on: October 08, 2016, 03:02 PM »
Hi CW!

Thank you very much- unfortunately the other half wasn't ready so was definitely over cooked so needed more base gravy as you mentioned, but didn't have any left! Haha.

You're right, I need to get the Kashmiri chilli powder and the marinades. I will put them on my shopping list! I'm presuming you wouldn't put the mince in the processor, just the spices/marinade?

That recipe is great though thank you! My colleagues have put an order in the next time we are on nights so I will have time to practise with this.

I'm going to need another Recipe book to put them all in.

Jenny

Your curry looks good in the pan Jen,  ;)

Shahi is a medium saucy finished dish, I would use a bit more base gravy
while cooking and also I would use Beef mince, just like
they do in most BIR and Take Away kitchens. (Bangladeshi owned)

Thanks Alastair,

I actually have just made his Chicken Tikka Shahee that is on youtube, my other half doesn't eat carbs (unless 'cheating' with an actual takeaway) so may try and perfect a few curries first and do the extras as a side project just for my own learning.

Jenny

Hi  Jenny,
It's a fun and interesting journey...you need a good rice and naan next. I find the pressure cooker method for rice easy and perfect, for naan I suggest you search for a chap who no longer posts here, his name is H4ppy Chris, or H4ppyleader  (or something similar) his naan works everything for me, and I have tried many, my kids think these naan are better than my TA.

Would i get this from a butcher? There isn't any 'local', I haven't seen ay at the supermarket but saying that I don't tend to look as we get a lot of chicken and we pre order from a wholesale butchers.
This is definitely worth trying though if I can get hold of it!

Jen

Hi Jen

Seriously huge difference. You'll need to try it.  Much leaner than lamb and is bench mark for the majority of BIR keema dishes.  It's also cheaper. Worth adding a pinch of crushed green cardomon/mace to the pre-cook.

All the curry houses I know use mutton, not lamb.

Hey
Yeah not too far then-  it turned out well but the lamb still had the 'lamb' taste so I think I will boil next time. I can usually at lamb mince from the takeaway but still tasted too strong of lamb for me!

That does sound interesting, I may give it a go once I get the hang of 'basic' curries :)

Jen

Hi JennyLougo,
I am currently working my way through the Glasgow  curry book with some fantastic results, I wanted to try something different, and this is. I now think that we overdo the ground spices, the Glasgow method does not use mix powders, there is no coriander, cumin, curry, paprika powder anywhere near this style of cooking, it doesn't make sense but I have made some of the best curries ever and no worrying about burning the spices.
I make my curries Friday about 4:00pm and reheat in the microwave about later after a few early doors beers with my wife, I don't own a smart phone so taking photos is a bit of an effort, quite honestly I never think about it but perhaps I should.. once I have exhausted the curry list in this book I will perhaps take some on the second time around.
This Glasgow thing has really got to me at the moment, I have collated Panpots old posts with reference to his time in the Ashoka restaurant, and others posted by the author of the book so there is a lot to go at.
Take care

hI!
My Freezer is usually full anyway haha, but it is stocked with the base at the moment. My other half doesn't do carbs (unless i persuade him to get the local indian) so I'm ok for naan at the moment! Haha!
Recooked chicken would always be a bonus though so may be the next technique I look into :)

Im definitely enjoying it thank you!

Jen

Hi Jenny,
You will also need to make space in the freezer for precooked chicken/lamb/tikka, base sauce, naan and everything else.
Glad you are finding it enjoyable, when I first started doing this the traditional Sunday lunch disappeared as I cooked six curries on Sunday for the family and on Wednesdays I did six more as takeaways for them.
What a great hobby...and of course it's and lot cheaper than buying takeaways.

?30 on extra ingredients but think how many curries that will produce compared with what you would get in a TA or restaurant for ?30  8)
