Hi all,
The other half is asking every 5 minutes what I would like for Christmas.
Any ideas from forum members as to what would be a good curry related Christmas gift.
Anything goes, just looking for inspiration.
Thanks for any comments.
Cheers, James

How about a cooking lesson from a near by restaurant?
-
I would ask to hire a curry chef for the day
so he could tell us all those secrets
Best Christmas ever ;D
-
The cooking lesson is a good idea.
You can also get some gift ideas from here:

I'm a gadget nut, and have had many such chopping products supposedly designed to magically transform your culinary life, and have yet to come across anything that beats this:

This one was good fun though (if a little noisy): http://imageshack.us/a/img515/6863/choppergrid.png (http://imageshack.us/a/img515/6863/choppergrid.png)
But you can't beat the original!

Sadly mine eventually lost its edge, and nothing yet tried has succeeded in re-instating it :(

It would have to be a tandoor...

Have you tried a Japanese water stone Phil? After years of never being able to get my knives really sharp I found these to be excellent. Naniwa are the ones I got, though I suspect they're all similar.
I use a combination of 1000 & 5000 grit, finished off with a strop on an old belt. After this even my cheapo knives will shave hairs off the arm, I know I have a bald patch!
Hope that helps,
Paul

No, I've not Paul. Is it one (or two) of these (http://www.naniwa-abrasive.com/product/sharpening_stone/index.html) ?

Yea exactly those, naniwa super stones, 20mm. The supers require only a sprinkling of water rather than soaking, not too hard to learn on- quite forgiving of mistakes unlike some softer composition stones.

My ideal list would include:
CR0 Masterclass (Vol.1)
BIR Style Cooking by Mick Crawford (Vol. 2)
A glass pressure cooker
CR0 t shirt. 100 % cotton (embroidered chilli logo)
Tandoor oven

How about an automatic onion chopping garlic peeler that prevents all hob top splatters and shuts up wife for 3 nights a week? ;)

Although my new combi drill I can smell under the tree could be good for pre drilling tikka before skewering. ;D
