I prepared No 1 daughter and boyfriend dinner tonight as a takeaway order. Mango Chicken for her, Butter Chicken for him plus Bombay Aloo and Puffy Breadmaker Cheese Naan.
I made Chilli Prawn Masala, Pilau Rice and plain naan for myself and dearest.
The Bombay Aloo is pictured in LC's thread of that name.
The Mango Chicken is a done deal with huge thanks to Chewytikka. I used very neutral base for this dish.
I really like this Butter Chicken as well. It was made using 50/50 Base Gravy (the one with Chicken) and Makhani Gravy and I reduced the Tomato puree level accordingly. It is not as intense as using just the Makhani as I did last time. Also using standard pre-cooked chicken instead of Tandoori made a huge difference.
They look nice. :) :) :P :P
Good looking spread there Livo ;) :D
When I read the title. I was expecting a comparison between you own cooking
and a bought in Take Away. Then on reading the penny dropped ;D ;D
Curries look tasty and your Naan looks like a Kulcha, what cheese did you use
for the filling.
cheers ChewyTikka
Just used grated block cheddar. I'm not sure what is used in the TA s, but these turn out pretty good. I was using the cooktop so couldn't use the tawa. These were just done under the grill.
A very fine-looking trio of curries - they look absolutely delicious!
Thanks. Naga. They were. This is the first time I've done the Prawns this way. It is, again, an adaptation of a very old favourite recipe from a book. The original recipe is simply called Masala Shrimp and it is a pretty ordinary but tasty dish. I sort of played around with BIR'ifying it. Turned out pretty good and I did double quantity.
