I fancy something different so thought I'd give it a try tonight.

Just wondering as 1.5 litres of base sauce seems a lot and theres only two of us - we eat after the kids have gone to bed!. Also, do you think it would go OK with prawns - under pressure from the Wife for something prawny  ;D

Cheers

Hi fandango.
I cook & eat a lot of fish but never in a curry,IMHO i find fish to be very unsuitable because of its very subtle taste & texture & cant for the life of me understand why it is used for Curry making, but like other things in life preferences with food is a very personal thing.
I think this is a particularly tasty Curry & perhaps some of the very large King Prawns would be OK, but please do read through the recipe as it will make for a multilayer many faceted Curry,that on reflection would work,go for it matey & please do post your results & opinion of this particular dish.
Yours .....DARTHPHALL.....

Thanks for the fast reply matey.

Do you always use 1.5 litres of the base sauce? That seems like quite a lot for two people.

Cheers

I have found cooking in larger amounts gives me more success & consistency, i would also experiment with adding more Oil & reducing the amount of water if you prefere it that way etc..etc..

Afternoon all.

This is my first post, and my first attempt at BIR cooking so please be gentle !

I chose this recipe because it seemed to tick all the boxes for me and didn't seem too hard to make.

I have tried to attach a couple of picy's. The first on eshould be the curry when it was cooking and the other one is the end result. It tastes spot on, my only minor critisism would be that I can taste the powdered spices a bit but it's easily cured for next time.
