Lets Talk Curry / This might be a stab in the dark but..

« on: December 02, 2011, 06:31 PM »

Hi, I'm off on hols in January I'm going to Australia! traveling about gold coast and NT but will be spending time with family in Adelaide.

Now I cant do 4 weeks with out a ruby! So does any one know of a decent curry house in Adelaide?

I'm not expecting like brick lane but if anyone has traveled to that part of the world and fell into a half decent curry house and can recommend i will be there like a curry rat up a drain pipe.

Cheers UB.

Curry Base Chat / Nearly 30 Thousand Views!!!

The Madras 100% Clone (of my local BIR)
http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=674.0

Now i remember the "in 2 curry" forum, a some of the old boys are still knocking about pete [haldi], graeme, Stew[admin], stewpot, markj, CC, CK, the list goes on.

in 2 curry went belly up and cr0 was born, i remember Pete emailing me about a his new base findings and thinking this is it!! curry heaven.. and the trials and spice mixes went back and forth [still does today]

however this recipe still sticks in my mind, one because he [Darth] posted with photos and two, once made.. made me among my mates a effing curry legend

now almost 30 000 views [and copied and pasted all around the web] it was born here at cr0 and this deserves a another looky because it really does make a really good madras... perhaps a little to much GM for my liking but the garlic and chill just does it for me.

My rally call is if you have the time is to cook this recipe and post your results and pic's and PM Darthphall to say thanks you never know the legend may even bless us with his presence again.

I'm gonna do it tuesday/wednesday... and get back.

All the best and to another 30 thousand views UB.

Breads (Naan, Puri, Chapatti, Paratha, etc) / CBM's Restaurant Naan Bread [without a tandoori oven]

« on: November 13, 2011, 11:35 AM »

This Recipe i acquired from CBM [mick] its to good not share, ive made these time and time again with perfect results every time.

Ingredients

300 grams of Self Raising Flour,
1 teaspoon of Baking Powder,
0.5 teaspoon of Salt,
Milk to add,
1 tablespoon of Sugar,
1 Egg,
3 tablespoons of Vegetable Oil,
1 teaspoon of Onion seeds (Kalonji).

Method

Mix all ingredients in a bowl,
Add enough milk to get the dough to come together,
Knead for about 5 minutes,
Cover with a cloth and leave to stand for about half an hour..

Pictorial from Mick's Curry Shed:

Once you have the dough prepared to your favourite recipe,
Pic 1./ Put your tawa on medium heat,

Pic 2./ Roll out the dough, then lay it on a pad made from tea towels, stretch the dough to a circle shape about 1/4 inch thick, the pad stops the dough 'springing back', Dip your fingers in some water and moisten the dough, this makes the dough stick easier to the tawa,
Now you invert the tawa and press the dough onto it, now turn it the right way up and lift off the pad, I'm sorry I couldn't photo this as I don't have three hands.

Pic 3./ Place the tawa back on the heat, almost immediately you will notice bubbles forming in the bread,

Pic 4./ You will notice the edges start to brown where they are in contact with the tawa, this is the time to be brave and hold the tawa upside down directly over the flames.
Gently move the naan around about 2 - 3 inches above the flames, until nicely browned with the darker spots,

Remove the naan from the tawa using a spatula or as I do, a new paint scraper, insert under the edge of the naan and the naan should come away easily.
Pic 5./ Stack of buttered naans.

BIR Main Dishes Chat / Lamb tikka?

« on: March 21, 2011, 07:50 PM »

Hi All, I'm needing help, lamb tikka at the moment is my latest battle to get right!!
i done lamb tikka a few times now and it always comes out chewy which is not like melt in mouth i get from tandoori house down the road..

I have been you using blades recipe[with yogurt] but instead of chicken of course Ive been using lamb [diced lamb from asda]

i marinade overnight or a least 18 hrs, skewer and cook in my tandoor but I'm always disappointed

what are my options now? marinade longer? precook the lamb then marinade then finish off in the tandoori oven?
mmmm not sure what to do next on this one any thoughts appreciated. UB.
