I made seekh kebabs for the first time today, I used Razor's recipe to spec. Came out quite nice. I also made a potato and mushroom vindaloo, potato, mushroom and pea korma for the OH, pilau rice (I think I've cracked the colouring) and mint sauce. The naans came out of the freezer hence the slightly deflated look.

Looking good there SR, those kebabs look real tasty.

Thanks LC. The kebabs were nice, just a bit lacking in real tandoori flavour for me.

Thanks, I'll give that a go next time. I've seen that in the local Asian shop so I will pick up a jar next time.  :)

Yes it is a bit dirty MA. Your pics keep encouraging me to make my vindaloos a bit hotter each time, although I still don't think I'm ready for a Phall yet.  :o

Its certainly made me hungry SR, you have top build up your chilli tolerance, but its worth it . Love laziza pastes, so much superior to pataks

That is true. I'm in the process of doing that now, the more time I spend on this site the more I get back to what things were like for me in the '80s. I did have a Phall once from a T/A but it was once. From then it was just Tindaloo for me, which was one up from a Vindaloo apparently. I have never tried Laziza pastes so I look forward to giving them a go.

Hi Garp, the way I done this batch was to separate some rice and add colour to it then fix it in the oven on a low heat for about 15 minutes. I used powdered food colouring. The one problem with it was the grains became a little 'crispy', but it was ok once it was heated with the rest of the rice. Hope that helps. I've always had problems with this myself.

London.

I just used natural yogurt, Coleman's garden mint and honey, I'm sorry I don't have measurements as I add a little at a time to get it right.

Hi SR, out of intrest what Naan recipe did you use for the photos? Cheers LC.

Hi LC, I used h4ppy Chris naan, but these were with peshwari paste in which stops them from bubbling up as normal plus the came out of the freezer. They taste good but are not so good to look at.

Hi SR, I thought they looked ok to be honest  ;) I'm on a mission at the moment to master every aspect of cooking Naan.
I made up 4 different batches of dough using various methods and cooking techniques this week! Hope it's all worth my time.
Thanks LC.

I wish you luck with your mission. I have only tried 2 recipes, the first was Julian's at c2go and the other was the happy naans you see in my photo and it was close enough for me to the local restaurant. I would like to crack the keema naan though which is why I have tried the seekh kebabs.
It will be interesting to see how your 4 different batches turn out. Good luck mate.  :D

Looks lush
My husband eats Vindaloo although us girlies in the house don't eat it.
Is there a recipe posted in forum?
