Murghi Mussala is another dish I would love the recipe for. A suspect the name is a bit generic but it used to be served in a couple of restaurants in the Epping area and was a combination of chicken in a hot sauce which contained lamb mince. - Very tasty

hi kethomps
sounds like a chicken rezala menu description to me from here in the south of england, and more like a speciality dish. try following pete's vegetable rezala recipe only using pre-cooked chicken and brown some lamb mince with curry powder to pre-cook then add to the finished dish after the chicken! never tried it so not sure. i have had a balti chicken with mince before very tasty but not hot. did have a balti garlic chilli chicken tikka masala no mince before and it still has to be 1 of the best tastiest curry i have ever had it had everything. but i love my vindaloos and phallls and also quite partial to a hot chicken chilli masala. would love to get a recipe from a restaurant for a chicken naga or the recipe for curry hell from the Rupali, yep the 1 from VIZ! :o
anyway welcome to the bets BIR site on the web
regards

My local takeaway makes a Murghi Keema Jalfrezi which is something I have regularly (uif something is that good I find it hard to change).  Anyway it is basically a chicken jalfrezi with a small portion of keema mince addeded in the cooking, theres a recipe for base keema mince on the site somewhere.  Ive have made it myself a few times and it is quite straightforward.

Definitely sounds like the Keema Chicken they do in the more downmarket t/a's and restaurants in North West England, I thought it was a regional thing but obviously not. They will serve it in posher "contemporary BIRs" but you have to ask and they always seem to pull a face and treat you like you just crawled out from under a stone, which is a pity coz done proper its dead good.
