Looks like a cracking plate of food Gaviscon.
Could eat that any day, Well done.

Your Chicken even looks like it's been Curry Cut, very authentic.

I've got to laugh at BB1 base recipe  ;D  tasting the same, as all of a sudden, it's gone from
Glasgow Gloop, to a normal Garabi, similar to many and nothing to do with Glasgow :.
Still too much oil and not blended enough. (His video, not your pic)

cheers Chewy

Thank you for the kind comments and thank you for the initial recipe. The chicken was boned and skinned legs sliced into 4 bits and this time I rinsed them and left them slightly damp which in my opinion allowed the mix to adhere better and created a nice deep fried coating. Indian KFC as one of the lads put it.  Very nice. I cut the salt down by half in the chicken mix and down to 1 teaspoon in the sauce which was more to my my taste and thirst buds afterwards. I also left it a bit 'wetter' than I would have liked as the lads at work like their stuff saucy.

As for the Glasgow base, I'm about to carton it up for the freezer and there is quite a bit of oil on top which I'll remove and keep for starting my curries off.

That Vindaloo looks bang on, excellent job Gav Iscon.

I actually have a carton of CA's base gravy left in the freezer so I may get 1 of each out and do a comparison taste test on the same curry. More to follow.

Thank you for the kind comments. It was probably the best BIR I've done yet although I'm getting good with CA's Ceylon which the missus now seems to prefer to the TA's. What a great site this is

Tonight's effort was 967Bars Garlic Chilli Chicken (based on Unclebuck's recipe)which I made with a Glasgow base and plain chicken. I also (being a wimp) cut the chillis down to 5.

Like everyone else in the thread, I really enjoyed this dish and will probably put the full amount of chillis in next time. I served it with Dips Bombay Aloo and after the thread on plain basmati, I did some in one of my trusty rice cookers. Served with a couple of poppadoms and a nan. Very nice.

Digressing  slightly, I have to say most of the recipes I've tried from the 'big hitters' of this forum have been excellent and have more than passed my expectations. The majority of them I would have happily paid for if I had been served them in a restaurant. Keep up the excellent work and contributions everyone.

I've had a couple of mishaps along the way but I find if you basically keep to the recipe you can't really go wrong. As long as I find something that looks tasty, I'll give it a go. There's plenty of curry porn to look at on this site.

CBM's Ceylon Chicken

Tonight, after downloading CBM's second book, the missus demanded a Ceylon Chicken so I thought I would give CBM's a whirl. I made a double batch and it turned out very nice but for me CA's still edges it. Theres a few new recipes to try in book 2 which I'll be having a go at but as the missus doesn't seem to like naga pickle, I'll have to try them at work. Anyway only a photo in the pan this time.
