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
Well i hope that tastes as good as it looks :P

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

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.

Seconded !

That looks absolutely gorgeous wonderful colour.
