Just posting my weekly effort - Chicken Madras from Chewy's Zeera recipe (with crispy onion garnish)
(http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/pics/ce5aeee25a78144908c3599c6f81d196.jpg) (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/#ce5aeee25a78144908c3599c6f81d196.jpg)
I had to adjust the quantities as I was cooking for three (as usual) but it was delicious - thanks to Chewy for recipe/method. Can't really fault it at all - restaurant quality without a doubt.
Here's one with side dish of Gujerati-style cabbage and carrots in the background

And the side dish on its own

Almost forgot - I had a go at Meggeth's egg-fried chapattis - added some garlic powder to the chapatti dough mix and some spice mix, as suggested, and some garlic puree to the egg mix. Really good - thanks for an original idea Meg :) Here's how they turned out

If you hadn't told us what that last dish was, Garp, I would have sworn it was paratha.
** Phil.

I use the same dough mixture for both Phil. But didn't do the layering thing that you do with parathas and employed Meg's eggy doo dah :)

Hi Garp
Looks great, did you use kashmiri mirch or deggi mirch? I find that this recipe is best with the kasmiri, great recipe and quick too!

If you are referring to chilli powder, I used red stuff. I'm not into using names for spices that I don't need to.
For instance - people on here say 'add some methi' - it's FENUGREEK. If you're going to refer to a spice by it's Hindi or other name, then refer to them all by that.
Anyway......rant over. it was nice and I used red 'mirch' :)

"If you are referring to chilli powder, I used red stuff. I'm not into using names for spices that I don't need to".
Kashmiri Mirch and Deggi Mirch are quite different beasts to each other and also to your "red stuff".
Fenugreek is usually used to describe the seeds, whereas "Methi" is always the leaves, so the "fancy" names are used to accurately identify the exact item needed.

I think you may be talking, as we say in Scotland, pish.

Having read quite a few posts on this forum, I have to agree Dajorca. If you say "methi" people will use leaves. If you say fenugreek, some will question "is that powder or seeds" and totally forget about the leaves. And just occasionally someone will say or write fenugreek leaves. Very confusing for the newcomers >:(.

Good call CH
Jeez, LOL, ;D ;D what a worky ticket Garp,
BIR have been using Kasoori Methi for ever, so some BIR recipes call for Kasoori Methi and on here its just been shortened to "Methi" by regulars.
I'd also say that Meggeth's eggy bread was inspired by the Katti Kebab post

That may be the case, my friend, but it is the first time I'd seen it.
And, to be honest, every recipe on here has been made before - there is nothing that hasn't been tried previously, maybe not shown on here.
Meggeth posted a new and interesting idea - there is no need to try to be smart and belittle it
