Bruce Edwards base Phil. That’s the ticket to a re-boot.  You won’t be disappointed.
Dive in.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: It’s Indian week!

Well, last nights ginger garlic crab was nothing to write home about, but elevenses this morning - lamb keema puffs were fantastic.  The perfect way to use up leftover keema.  Store-bought puff pastry, 18-20 mins baking. Simple and delicious.

Lamb kebabs were delicious.  The coriander-mint chutney was a bit too minty for me. I only made 4 for a 4pm appetizer and froze the rest of the meat.


I was a bit concerned that the 120g sugar and 1 TBSP honey would make the chicken Ruby overly sweet, but followed the recipe nonetheless. And yes, it was too sweet for me. I assume some sugar is needed to offset the acid from the tomatoes but this was over the top for me.
800g tomatoes is the most I’ve used in a dish too, but they cook right down just fine.
Also uses more oil than I normally add. I siphoned it off before serving.


Overall, though, a good day.

Lets Talk Curry / It’s Indian week!
« on: September 04, 2023, 08:04 PM »
We get Labor Day off today so I took the whole week as a vacation and am cooking Indian dishes from the Dishoom book every day this week. (Except Wednesday when the missis has dinner with daughters and I revert to BIR vindaloo).
This is how the week looks.


Sheekh kebabs are already sat in the fridge for a little afternoon aperitif.
Ditto the coriander-mint chutney.
Chicken marinaded overnight, ready for grilling and my bash at Chicken Ruby.

To say I’m excited is a woeful understatement.

I once accidentally picked up a pack of maple flavored bacon and cooked without realizing. Absolutely horrible.  Americans….😂

Yes that lamb dish is definitely on my short list. Along with my very favorite lunch, pau Bhaji.

I have a number of unethically obtained downloaded books but Dishoom was worth the $19 for me. A (legitimate) steal.

Lets Talk Curry / Biryani recipe from Dishoom book

This week I made this dish and it was wonderful.  The aroma when I broke the seal after baking was so good.  Definitely worth the effort.  This Dishoom book is full of beautiful looking recipes and I plan to work steadily through as many as I can.

Curry Sauce, Curry Base , Curry Gravy Recipes, Secret Curry Base / Re: Bruce Edwards Curry Sauce & Basic Curry - From The Man Himself

Hey Mick
This is also my go-to base and I couldn’t be happier with the results it brings. The ingredient list in the vindaloo is so sparse I thought it couldn’t work, but boy was I wrong. I had planned a curry mid-week but we had a couple of days where it reached 100 F (with the humidity it was ‘real feel of 111 F) and I do all my curry outdoors so skipped it.
Maybe tomorrow….

Talk About Anything Other Than Curry / Re: The Hamburger
« on: August 26, 2023, 03:57 PM »
Although it looks mighty delicious I’m afraid the beetroot is a no-go for me, as is the pineapple. My missis would probably go for it though.  My burger experience completely changed when she showed me the mirepoix technique. But no burger should be well done for me. Medium all day long.
An excellent post by that lady, and yes, great pics too.
