I used Chris303's Recipies but used a slightly slower cooking method and modified the recipie a little
Balti sauce
Lamb/chicken
2 onions, chopped
1.5 tomatoes, chopped
0.5 TBSP salt
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
3 large garlic cloves, crushed
1.25 TSP Balti spice mix (I used shan rogan josh spice mix)
0.5 TSP turmeric
1 inch cinnamon
1 black cardamoms, broken open
1 black peppercorn
0.5 TBSP fresh chopped coriander
1 TBSP veg ghee
Lob everything except the coriander and oil into a pan, add 300ml water, bring to boil, cover and simmer for 30-35 minutes
The chicken/lamb should be ready at this point so remove
Add the coriander and oil and return to the boil, stir for 2 minutes
Fish out the cinnamon and cardamom and blend the mixture.
Then onto the spice?s ect
[Ingredients]

I found that the dish had a little too much ghee but maybe thats down to no cooking it quicker and at a higher heat, this was my first proper curry and im pleased with the results the other half certainly enjoyed it, it's a good base to start from i think.
Any thoughts/critisim's please let me know
That is one badass portion! :o Looks good! ;D
Looks the biz alright. Is the Rogan josh spice mix bought or made up from recipe on the forum?
Fraid i bought the spice mix Davy, Still learning this game oldboy

Onto the hot stuff for me tmorrow Vindaloo
Will try and get some pics
Cheers for reply's chaps
Someone else that likes a little curry with their rice ;)
Pics look great thanks for sharing.
Bought mixes are used quite often. I believe most T/A's etc up here use a fair bit of bought in mixes. I managed to get pataks tandoori paste yesterday to check it out and guess what? It tastes exactly like Lamb Tikka in the Kebabs and curries that I buy locally! It saves time and keeps well. That would suit a business down to the ground. ::)
