Hi All
I am new to the site and have tried some of the recipes which have turned out really great but one I have searched for which is a favourite of mine is a dish called Rashun.
I live in South Shields where there are a great deal of indian carry outs and restaurants to choose from where a number of them serve Chicken Rashun but I can't seem to find out any information about the dish and have never seen a recipe as yet anywhere on the net.
Can anyone offer any advice? :)

Hi epgri and welcome to cr0.
I too, am from Sunny South Shields, Where do you order your Rashun from usually and where in your opinion does the best in town ???
Can you describe what a NE33 Rashun is, because there seem to be differences up and down the country.
cheers

Sounds interesting. Do you have any takeaway menus that describe the basic flavours of this dish?

I wonder whether this might be a spelling/pronunciation variant of Chicken Roshni (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=2458.msg21372#msg21372)/Roshney (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5419.msg53793#msg53793) ? (See ChrisWG (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5419.msg55890#msg55890) for a clarification of the difference between the two).

I found one reference to this online.
Chicken Tikka cooked with garlic, ginger, fresh coriander & spices.
Someone else mentioned these are very garlicky so it could be a regional variation of a Chicken Roshney.

I have to say, one of the things that really depresses me about modern BIR cuisine is the enormous number of dishes (particularly the "House Specials") that are "Chicken Tikka cooked with". In "the Good Old Days" [tm], curries were made with fresh chicken (or mutton, or beef, or lamb), and Chicken Tikka was a rare and very special dish in its own right; these days, almost certainly as a result of the British passion for Chicken Tikka Masala (a passion I have never shared), more and more dishes are made with Chicken Tikka rather than with fresh chicken, much to my dismay. Even asking whether a dish is made with fresh chicken is no longer a guarantee that you won't find it to be made with Chicken Tikka when it is eventually served :(

What about that depresses you, Phil? Is it the devaluing of 'Chicken Tikka'?

No, it is more that I really love the flavour of fresh chicken in a well made, spicy, curry sauce. Chicken Tikka & Tandoori Chicken are best eaten just as nature intended, IMHO, although I know of two variants that seem to complement their flavours : (Tandoori) Chicken Jhol/Jhoul (formerly served by the Ababil (http://www.just-eat.co.uk/restaurants-ababil/menu?source=aw#592), but no longer on their menu; note, however, that they now offer a "staff curry" -- a rare chance to try BIR as eaten by the restaurant staff) and Chicken (Tikka) Shagorana (http://www.tajofkent.co.uk/menu.htm).
Also, I like to know what I am ordering : if the menu says "Chicken Dhobiwallah", for example, then I expect Chicken Dhobiwallah and not Chicken Tikka Dhobiwallah

I'm a bit with Phil on this one - the use of pre-bought pastes, e.g. Pataks is something I have resisted when making Tikka. It always seems to me to be one step closer to buying a jar of homepride curry sauce and slapping a couple of chicken breasts into the pot.

Hi All
Thank you for you replies, much appreciated. Called Rashun or Rushun. Some of you guys are dead right in predicting what you think may be in it, as below.
Rashun is basically described by Abbey's of South Shields which is a carry out as cubed Tikka chicken grilled over charcoal then fried with garlic, ginger and fresh coriander.
The Spice Garden restaurant describes it as cubed chicken cooked with ginger, coriander and lots of fried garlic.
The Shah Jan describes it as Tikka chicken cooked with fresh fried garlic and crispy capsicum and coriander, recommended for garlic lovers. (my favourite place to buy this dish from)
I have been learning to cook Indian food myself for 18 months now, have loads of recipe books and of course use the net to find recipes as well as use this great site and must say, I really do enjoy making a tasty curry. I tried a Chicken Korahi recipe from this site last week and it turned out as good as I have ever had, so well done to the guy who posted it (sorry I forgot his name) but it came from a restaurant in Nottingham I believe. However when I read descriptions on menu's as above I have to say most curries I make contain those ingredients anyway so me being the novice, need to know what other ingredients are missing as there must be more otherwise a great deal of curries would taste similar and the definitely don't. If anyone can supply a recipe for what they think Rashun is or point me in the right direction then I would be most grateful. ;D
