Been busy trying new recipes over the weekend. Most turned out very good (Saturday = first 3 photos, Sunday = last 2 photos, quality not so good for some reason).
First was a chicken nawabi from Cook4one site - very interesting recipe - includes crushed/ground cumin and fennel seeds. Give it a 8.5/10, into the favourites book.
Next up, daughters favourite korma (Georges/Ghanas recipe with a few of my own mods) - think I've got this spot on now. Daughter says better than any take away! 9/10.
Balti recipe from 100 Best Baltis Book -nice tasty curry. 8/10.
First time I've tried chewys madras - fantastic! Think I could have done with a little more base, but incredibly tasty for such few ingredients. Probably better than any take away madras I've had. 9/10. Into the favourites!
Finally Geezahs dhansak. This is the best dhansak recipe I've tried, although I did make some pre-cooked lentils to go into it, with onions/garlic/bay leaf/cinnamon/coriander which tasty really good on it's own (a pretty good dhal). 8.5/10. Into the favourites also.

A good weekend's work, Meggeth : well done !
** Phil.
great picks meggeth but needs a pimped Strat sitting next to the curry!
Cracking effort, meggeth! Those dishes look delicious and would grace any table. Your right about Chewy's Madras and thanks for the reminder about the Cook4One website - I keep meaning to try some of the recipes.
Nice looking dishes meggeth :) You're right about CT's madras, every other curry I cook is a CT madras (don't forget the Worcestershire sauce) ;)
Cheers,
Ken
Very nice spread, bud.
And you also had time to pimp the strat?
Superhuman effort, my friend :)
I finished pimping a few weeks ago. ;D
