Leftovers from a while back. Chicken madras, I think. Not sure. Could be a Ceylon.

A couple more from the same place. When I was going here the chef was already quite senior. I suspect he is not there any more. Limited choice in the curry department these days. Their menu has chicken tikka masala, chicken bhuna and lamb bhuna. Three biriyani dishes: chicken, lamb, mixed sherpur. That's it.

I’m currently staying away from home on business, and the company have put me up in one of the cheaper chains with breakfast and evening meal included.
One of the dishes on the limited menu is described as a butter chicken dish, with rice and a popodum.

The waitress was Indian so I asked what the dish was like, did the sauce come out of a jar etc, etc, etc.

Putting on her corporate face she told me it was a nice dish and I would enjoy it. I explained that I cooked traditional Indian dishes at home, made my own masala’s and was proud of my prowess with the food of the continent.

She bent down and whispered in my ear “don’t eat it, it’s horrible”. Enough said!

The Tilted Pan method using a domestic hob. Just a few snapshots. Lid on when everything is in the pan. Took off briefly to take photos. In the last photo the curry is not finished. Not long to go though. Another 5 mins or so.













Look at the state of my hob knobs. Had the great idea of soaking them in bike chain degreaser. Got rid of the grease, but also the bloomin' chrome coating. Painted them silver but It's all flaking off, so they are not looking their best. Not paying £40 for a replacement set though. I shall repaint them.
