Hi, I've been plodding on this week with the curries. I made a Garlic Chilli Chicken on sunday, and the taste was 'bang on'! Apart from the fact my 'dipping' is a little over enthusiastic so made it a bit hot! Tasted good tho..

Monday, Dhansak. Was good but I didnt use enough pineapple juice and the wrong lentils.

Yesterday, Made a rogan "josh" (with chicken). Superb... She was made up with it, few other things to change but overall very impressed.

Quite happy with the book so far, its simplified everything for me and the results I'm getting are great.

Jalfrezi tomorro.... :)

Ready to rock..

Rogan Chicken


With Garnish.. the smell of this stuff smelled like the local T/A while cooking..

Hi

@TyeNoodle

God like curry pics, nice cooking setup too!

@CurryOnRegardless

Good to hear your recomendation - on the list to do!

@matt3333

Good question, what is his tandori masala made of - sort of implies its Pataks? - keen to find out! - bit of a silly omission in the book.

cheers all.

Hi guys,

I think the tandoori masala is just a commercial mix, probably Rajah judging by his comments in the book.

The tandoori marinade makes a big difference, trouble is being made with yogurt how long is it going to last? Presumably BIR's make a new batch everyday but that's not very practical for us at home, I have some in the fridge from the w/e but don't think it's going to last much longer. Same goes for the tomato paste.

Still, getting great results have done a bhuna, madras, and jalfrezi so far and they have all been good, plenty of room for improvement of course but definitely going in the right direction.

Cheers
CoR

Hi CoR
With the tomato paste I freeze mine in ice cubes then put into plastic bags, I have also done the same with another Tandoori marinade and this was ok no reduction in flavour and the marinade did not go off.

Hello, made my favourite today. Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi.

Came out way better than anything else I've made, almost as good as the local t/a's and with a little tweak or two it'll be there.

Invited a mate round who is famed for his honesty and he said it was superb so i think we are on the right track.

?8 well spent so far :)
