Frozen paratha with curry sauce and red onion salad. I had been planning a lamb curry, but despite prolonged marinading in spices and lemon juice, it failed to soften sufficiently in the time available, so as the sauce was so flavoursome I decided to eat some of the sauce today (with a frozen paratha) and hope that by tomorrow the lamb will be sufficiently soft to enjoy. I may even make it into an assembled biryani.
All measures are approx. rounded uncalibrated teaspoons unless otherwise stated :
Oil : lots
Base : more than 3/4 pint, less than a pint.
Tomato puree : a squeeze (then diluted 1:2)
g/g paste : 1
Bolst's curry powder : 3
Kashmiri mirch : 2
Kashmiri masala : 2
Cumin : 1
Methi : 2/3
Coriander : 1/3
Chat masala : a trace.
Salt : none (odd, that : I love my salt, yet forgot it and it still tasted fine).

So where js the porn? ;)

No mold tonight then Phil? ;)

Sounds good Phil; but porn is required. No more pie and chips. And let's be having a minimum of 8 mega-pixels macro on the oil separation!

To be honest, the lamb did taste a bit high, which is another reason that I didn't eat it this evening. I thought that after soaking in a nice rich flavoursome curry sauce for another 24 hours, any trace of festering should be competely masked.
So where is the porn? ;)
Mumble mumble : why is everyone so obsessed with pictures. OK, here we go ...

Just checked : it's an 11749 KB CR2 file (12 megapixels resolution); not really convinced that curry-recipes/imagehost/ is the ideal place to put it ! You'll just have to make do with the 760px downsampled version that I have already uploaded, I'm afraid ...

I am speechless. Stunning lamb curry Phil; if a bit on the oily side. You have potential though, if you keep at it.

I'll do my best, Rob. The oil would normally have been partially decanted (it is my spiced oil supply) but as I need to keep this one until tomorrow the oil can stay on as an extra preservative and then be decanted shortly before serving. It was all just lurking in the wok until RubyDoo asked for a picture, so I quickly popped it into a large T/A container for the photograph, oil and all.

Nice one! Be good to see the finished dish, minus the oil You mentioned a biryani? Keep planning one of those myself, but seems like quite a bit of work.

Didn't notice, Malc. It was being remaindered in Waitrose so I just grabbed it and ran. The packaging has just gone in the bin, so I can't check that either. Just found it : diced shoulder.

Chicken Madras with frozen paratha (still have no Basmati rice).
2 Waitrose Leckford free-range chicken breasts, home-frozen
Between 3/4 pint and 1 pint base (from curry) (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,11261)
Kashmiri masala
3 x teaspoons Bolst's Curry Powder (Hot)
2 x teaspoons Kashmiri mirch
1 x teaspoon ground cumin
1 x teaspoon ground turmeric
1 x teaspoon sea salt
1/2 x teaspoon ground methi
1/8 x teaspoon amchur
1 x squeeze tomato puree, then diluted 1:2 with boiling water
g/g paste
1/2 green chilli, finely sliced
lots of oil (organic rapeseed).
Rubbed the Kashmiri masala all over both breasts, put them in a sealable plastic container then warned them for 2 x 20 minutes at 10% microwave power to defrost.
Put some oil, g/g paste, 1 x tablespoon Kashmiri masala into the wok and gently bhooned. Added chicken breasts (cut into 2 x 5), turned well, added a little base, turned thoroughly, then covered and left to gently cook for a few minutes. Retrieved the chicken and covered with the liquid in which it had been cooked to keep it warm and moist.
Put lots of oil in the wok, 1 x teaspoon g/g paste, all the spices, bhooned well, added diluted tomato puree, cooked until starting to thicken, added about a ladle of base, cooked until starting to thicken, added the chicken, stirred well to coat, cooked for a bit, added more base, cooked for a bit, added remainder of base, cooked until chicken nearly ready, removed chicken and placed under foil to keep warm and moist, added coriander stalks and sliced green chilli, then cooked under glass until the oil had come out. Poured back over the chicken, garnished with chopped coriander leaves and served with paratha and red onion salad.
Dessert (which I'm still eating) is about 1/3L Lidl Greek-style "Eridanous" yoghurt mixed with Camp coffee.

I think you and I must share the same sense of humour, RubyDoo : UMSL (Bowdlerised so as not to offend).
