1 cup of wholemeal flour (can also use 1 cup of seed and grain flour) for variety.
1 cup of plain flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vegetable oil
3/4 of a cup of warm water
METHOD

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.Then in another bowl combine the warm water and oil.

Add the water/oil mixture to the flour mixture, one tbsp at a time and mix (using a dough hook).Once water is mixed in, add another tbsp of water and repeat the process until all water is mixed into the dough.


The dough will be sticky.

Knead the dough for about 4-5 minutes.
Add a light dusting of flour to the dough when kneading.

The stickiness will eventually go away and you should end up with a nice smooth dough.

Let the dough rest in a bowl covered with a damp towel for 20 minutes.

Divde dough into golf ball size balls.
Place dough balls on a flat dish making sure they dont touch each other and cover with a damp towel for about 10 minutes

Lightly dust your board and roll out to quite thin (1/8")

About 7-8" diameter, using a knife ( or plate) making them round.

Preheat a  skillet adding NO oil.

Cook the tortilla for about 30 seconds, you will notice brown spots all over your tortilla, flip over and cook for an additional 30 seconds

DONT OVER COOK THEM. They should be nice and soft.

If posted in wrong place,sorry CA.

Yes in a way, forgot to add you have to trim nearly all the fat of but try to leave little bits here and there. Tried this with a couple of friends and they loved it it tastes like a kebab from the chippy but withoput the grease.
Usually go to a pub in West Bromwich called The Vine they do all Indian Curries (not that impressive) but the barbeque stuff they do at the rear of the place is wonderful chicken tikka spicy fish (hake) lamb tikka and a "brown sauce" dip there lamb is done the same way over a grill type thing very moist and tender will ask next time i go what they actually do (used to drink with one of the chefs) might be next weekend if im not going on a camping trip.
The brown sauce dip is as follows if you want to try
use a small frying pan and add
1/3 of a cup of brown sauce (any kind)
1 tbsp mint sauce
1/3 of a cup of hot water
1-2 green chillies whole  (to taste) you can make a slit in them if you want.
 Then just heat together for about 5 mins tasting all the time for the mint and heat balance. MAKING SURE NOT TO BURN.

Hi Razor i use the one from Iceland (leg of lamb) and marinade for  at least 24hrs in the fridge and cook on low heat at the bottom of the oven for a good 8hrs (uncovered) using blades recipe, the taste is divine, the meat just falls of the bone. Using the marinade to baste every 1/2 hour and turning the leg of lamb over as well.

Cheers Razor i also use CA's recipes as well thats an added bonus.

Hi Chris, i do this on a regular basis with about 12 to 17 people, taste testing everything (on weekends mainly and my wednesday darts  night) that i do from Balti to Madras and the starters, plus the breads (naan breads are giving me hell, dont think my oven gets hot enough).
Then i go away and read the "views" of my friends and come to a kind of "best of" type chart with nearly every recipe recieving a "mark" from out of 120 if 12 people are taste testing and so on.
The comments can be quite different and sometimes the "reviews" can be near enough the same, very weird sometimes.
It also gives you a kind of proud feeling when these friends are telling the truth about your cooking and they actually like it (well sometimes any way ).

Storage / Re: freezing coriander

The reason this place has gone to the dogs is because you cant post your own views on here without somebody having to say something that doesnt sit well with their view and its always the little "click" of people that come out of the woodwork and have to suck up to certain people.
I use to post on here all the time, but now it just seems a certain few dont agree with anything that anybody has to say. Its a forum about curry and the such, its peoples crazy ideas that have probably made most of the recipes on here.
This site used be a helpful and a joy to go on, but i have no idea what has gone wrong, think its the case of "i know it all" syndrome.
Well thats it sorry about posting my views.

I have already tried the "just freeze it" method and its not very nice as you say it goes all mushy and have you never had coriander rice? It was just an idea that i hadnt tried before.
Jesus BB get off your high horse and chill out a bit.
I can understand why a few of members dont bother posting on here anymore.
Thanks and good bye.
