Rice!
Curry
Posted so those like Littlechillie who can't bear to look at the Josephine thread can at least not miss a rare chance of a curry pic.
Batched cooked at Easter as part of an 8 portion bulk big-pot curry.

The lamb looks great as does the rice, but I think your portion matching needs attention :D
Noticed your edit which explains the portions. ;D
-
No the rice was from today, I always cook a big pot of it then freeze into portions for convenience. The curry was a batch cook from Easter, I cooked 3 others the same time, 35 portions total. It's a long day. Enough to make you want a few pizzas for a change.
I do find it work the effort to bulk cook though, so I can pull a curry and rice out of the freezer and sling into the microwave upon returning home from work.
-
How did you do the lamb? Just briefly will do and I can ask more later.
-
Just a basic Bengali fry up of plenty of oil then garlic and ginger, onions, tomatoes, whole spices, and then (after cooking down well till the onions are falling apart), mix powder, salt and tomato pur

Thanks. I have a pressure cooker. It was actually the curry itself I was after.

Onions are you just aiming to be my personal cheerleader or are you going to post something yourself from time to time?
Not that I can't appreciate the, uh, appreciation, just that people will talk about us if you carry on like this?
-
Not at all, I was just applauding your first curry-related post in the last 100 :P :D
A statistic of course pointed out to us by a personal friend of mine very recently ;)

Nowt wrong with getting talked about. As we used to say at work, 'If they're talking about you, at least they're not talking about anyone else'. ;D

Well the curry itself, if you were to cook it batch style like mine, would be something like:(1) pre-cook your meat and set aside. (2) cook yourself a base sauce but keep it thick, around the consistency of a finished curry, instead of diluting to a thin soup like a standard base. Set aside. (3) do your bhagar of spices and Tom pur

I never said you couldn't cook, but that there was no evidence of you cooking curry based on your last 100 posts. As for why I asked your method for this particular dish. Simply because it looks like curry that I would very much enjoy. I thank you for sharing your technique and assure you that I will be trying it out very soon. Most likely today since winter has arrived.

Sverige, it gives me great pleasure to know you spent the day thinking about me :-*
Good to see you finally got your curry pan out, and a good attempt at your rice! There is many great recipes on the forum for you to study and master.
Thanks.

....and ignoring the prevailing dodgy view that the spices only scale up by 1.5 each time you double portions....
Phil pointed to this being a point of disagreement between many people on either side of the viewpoint only the other day.
I'm not suggesting here that all information on the net is true, and in fact we know it isn't but I have seen this principle applied many times in actual Indian videos and it is a commonly held view so there must be an element of truth to it.
Here are 4 links to info that supports it.

I have quoted from the author's reply to a question down near the bottom of the page on this link to save you having to search for the reference. The top 3 links are pretty conclusive in this view though.
"Add 1.5 times the spice mix for double the quantity of pulao. Spices tend to pervade the dish well even if you do not double the quantity."
I would be happy to read of the opposite view.

Progress so far.
Whole spices, onions, G&G.
Near ready for tomato.
Tomato in.
Marinated lamb.
Lamb in.
This is now in the PC for 30 minutes.
Finished and packaged up for use and the freezer.

I haven't been able to do any work on this today. We were hit by an East Coast Low last night and it has hung around all day and still rages now. Same thing as a cyclone but because we're not in the tropics, they don't call it one. Last one we had was 2007 and we were without power for 6 days. I've got the generator hooked up so we have lights and basic electrics but it will be plain sailing for a few days I think.
To top that off I had to drive to Kingsford Smith airport at Mascot today to pick up my daughter's friend who was flying in from Thailand. 1 hour 20 to get there and nearly 4 hours to get home.

That is interesting -- that last phrase "plain sailing" must have mutated in meaning in its migration to the Antipodes; back home in good old Blighty, it means that everything is simple and straightforward, so we might write "Now that power is restored it will be plain sailing once again", but never "[We're lacking in mains electricity] so it will be plain sailing for a few days until proper power is restored".

You are correct. I just meant it was probably going to be a few days of plain (dull) going. No luxury so plain.

Understood, Livo.
