Wonderful looking feast there Livo. Hope your madras turned out well. It looks good, must've been nice in contrast to the chicken curries.

Sverige, it was a very nice tasting dish and I love tender lamb but in the processes of pre-cooking, freezing and re-cooking in the finished Madras it became too tender / fall apart soft. This is perfect for Greek Lamb shoulder but it was a bit too overdone for the dish. Flavours delicious but lost out on texture and I had to be very gentle with it in the pan.  Live and learn. I won't use the pressure cooker for the pre-cook next time.

Nice pics Livo and good to see Chicken 65 getting a mention, it's a lovely dish in my opinion and one I don't make often enough. I love it as part of a mixed starter with pakora, tikka etc.

The Tikka was marinated for about 16 hrs overnight,  but I've now read that 2 hours is recommended for Chicken Breast in Yogurt.  I can't say that overnight hurt it though.

The Chicken 65 was only marinated for about an hour, but the spice coating on that is more external and fried.

yes few of the cooking shows say it makes no difference. but when you use the yoghurt to soften the meat 2 hours world work  ;D ;D
