Hi
Well, as always with great respect and thanks to this forum, thought I would post a quick pic of one of the weekends currys.
This one is a Chicken Vindaloo, Saag Aloo, CWG Bhaji and some basmati rice.

That is, quite simply, glorious. :D
-
Out of interest, what recipes did you use for this (other than Chris' bhaji recipe)?
-
Hi
The Vindaloo and Saag Aloo are from the Undercover Curry book with the addition of spiced oil and 3/4tsp Bruce Edward spice mix pp.
Also added a portion onion and pepper pur?e (from the spiced oil here http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5015.0 (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5015.0)) for depth and variety in the Vindaloo.
The base is a tweaked CA base as I don't personally like the UCC base much.
Surprising how fast the whole lot can be made now too.
Cheers

Looks very nice, SP, but may I ask whether you use turmeric to colour the rice, and if so, are you able to taste the turmeric in it ? I ask because I avoid using turmeric in rice for that very reason.

Hi
Yes, I like to add a little tumeric into the rice sometimes. Not too much, maybe only 1/4 tsp. I suppose you can faintly be aware of its presence, but I quite like it myself. It is also cooked with some cloves and a star anise and their flavour is predominant.
Cheers

Ah, interesting. These days I use saffron if I want yellow rice (I far prefer the flavour of saffron to that of turmeric), but far more often I now go for the multicolour approach : (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/pics/81b0831066d9bb1ab4921deddbf6d65d.JPG) (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/#81b0831066d9bb1ab4921deddbf6d65d.JPG)

Hi
Your rice looks lovely :)
Never tried to make it with colouring like that myself. Think I'll give it a go.
Cheers

Your rice looks lovely :)
Thank you :) All I do is drop a couple of drops of red, yellow & green liquid food colouring in a big triangle so that the drops are as far from each other as possible (to keep the colours pure), leave it to rest in a warm oven until I need it, then gently lift the rice up to distribute the coloured grains evenly amongst the others. Sadly although that particular rice looks nice, it was distinctly lacking in flavour : I shall have to try harder next time !

Man that looks good. We should do a mini 'come dine with me' one day. Axe is only down in Sussex so might be able to come too.
