apologies to malacara as it is quite an interesting watch.

the interesting part for me was that the chef appeared to cook the pre cooked/spiced lamb in one sauce (using masala) and the rest of the rogan josh in another sauce ie 2 separate sauces being poured into the TA carton.

the rest (that was apparent) i felt is practised within CR0.

hi jerry
this was how it was done in pete's brick lane visit posting, and how bruce edwards rogan josh in curryhouse cookery.

regards
gary

was a little disappointed with the whole series, thought the idea was to cook the same dishes as they would get from the takeaway! not make up your own dish if you know what i mean.
