Title: Karm Kalah Ki Sabzi vs Zereshk Polow
Post by: Kashmiri Bob on September 11, 2015, 03:45 PM
Not posted for a while, busy changing jobs  Still cooking a lot.  Here's a couple of recent efforts.

Chicken tikka

(http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/pics/963a27130bcd744b77c8917519c327e7.jpg)

Laziza style. Tester. A bit under-done.


Mixed starter

(http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/pics/7c6628427705dac608c1a3e7a506b314.jpg)

Odds and ends from the freezer.  Tandoori lamb chop, half a seekh kebab and chicken tikka.

Late supper job


Special lamb curry

Messing about with pre-cooked mutton shoulder, Persian seven-spice and cream.


Zereshk Polow (Persian Rice With Barberries)

(http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/pics/e73f471c7245614ae61247a134cfc42c.jpg)

Been making a lot of this.  Love it. Barberries briefly heated in butter, saffron water and sugar. Topped with sliced pistachio. Ran out of saffron for the rice part here but have some now and on the cards again for this evening.  Authentic Zereshk Polow is often garnished with chicken.

Your always a true inspiration for me Bob, love viewing your consistently progressive understanding of BIR.

Good selection Rob, brightening the place up.
I was sure Beans on Toast was going to be next on the front page. ;D ;D Rich  lol

I like the look of this Persian Rice - zereshk polow
as its close to a Biryani method.

Never heard of Barberries before, I

You can find barberries in any Iranian grocers. I don't know if there are many of them, luckily I pass one on the way to work!

Thanks, good to be back.  Hope you are all keeping well.  Latest project is the Pakistani kebab shop spicy/ rubbery seekh (again).  Coming along nicely. Should get a batch done later this week.  I will take some pics and post where up to with recipe/method.

That's the video Chewy.  Reckon go easy on the butter though. Dried barberries as fried says from Iranian (or Afghan) stores.

Haven't made any BIR/Balti for a while.  Felt I got really close (Adil) with a modified Taz (no tomato) base, Jerry's GM, a paste of Rajah tandoori masala, kewra and rose water, pre-cooked meat on-the-bone/stock, dish cooked lid on.  But the strange aromatics unique to the Adil balti are definitely present in the restaurant base, and it's a brave man who starts pouring kewra etc into a pot of base gravy.  Potent stuff. We'll get there one day; all good fun.

The cabbage recipe is from a second hand shop book that I can't remember the name of and is currently out on loan to a friend, together with my hard copy of Mick's first book.  Must get them back.  Think I've done the Laziza tikka approach before.  Plenty black pepper and a good dash of green cardo/mace powder is nice.

Rob  :)

Special lamb curry

Messing about with pre-cooked mutton shoulder, Persian seven-spice and cream

I've tried a few different meats/cuts for my meat curry, for days when chicken curry just won't cut it. I settled on mutton shoulder as the best all around flavour / texture for curry. Takes a good amount of pre cooking to make it tender though. Your post first put me onto mutton shoulder as a good candidate. Thanks

One of my favorites Sverige along with chicken leg meat. Splash out on a pressure cooker, they're perfect for tougher meat pre-cooks. I've got some of both to bag and freeze today that were cooked yesterday.  :)
