Title: My Curries
Post by: tongey on April 26, 2012, 09:55 PM
Ok
So a couple of you guys have been asking for some pictures so here they are.... :)   I thought I had a lot more to be honest......oh well, I will just have to cook some more curry!!

Be kind, I am still very new to using the BIR method and some of these pics do not use it (although they are still very tasty dishes!!!)

Base Gravy - Got this recipe from Real Curry Recipes (link currently down so have not posted) and I think out of the three bases I have tried so far is still the best....

Bombay Potato

Chicken Jalfrezi (using base)

Chicken Kholaprui (Not from Base) - lovely dish
(http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/pics/af289093d1b21023f339f5b6796ff66f.jpg) (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/#af289093d1b21023f339f5b6796ff66f.jpg)

Chicken Madras and Bombay Potato

Pilau Rice (Again, link is down for this one.)  - Lovely rice. Perfect every time!
(http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/pics/8cd35752fc0531dfd285c06c7128ac21.jpg) (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/#8cd35752fc0531dfd285c06c7128ac21.jpg)

Kebab (Go on  say what you want  ;D  - they look terrible but they tasted fantastic  8) ) Cooked with Beef Mince
(http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/pics/c4e512dfb8ddc9058baa3bbb436730fd.jpg) (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/#c4e512dfb8ddc9058baa3bbb436730fd.jpg)

Thai Green Chicken Curry (another beautiful dish not using base)
(http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/pics/cd7b8add337bee1f1ebc235227937f53.jpg) (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/#cd7b8add337bee1f1ebc235227937f53.jpg)

My Thali (What I would normally eat!! - Cook 3 curries and have them all over 2 days!!)
(http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/pics/7e1673763c074b06365710aa56a7992b.jpg) (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/imagehost/#7e1673763c074b06365710aa56a7992b.jpg)

Thanks mr.mojorisin :)

Funnily enough it is making me a bit hungry now too  :P   I guess that is the problem having a freezer full of kebabs, rice and curries.............you know it is all too easy to just jump in there and put that microwave into action!!!!             

*Already eaten, urge to eat must be quashed*

Some brilliant looking curries there tongey and that base has quite a sheen to it  8) top work!

Post by: tongey on April 26, 2012, 10:41 PM
Hehe, niece one emin-j  :) everyone I showed this kebab pic too hates it!!! But they really did taste good. I could not stop eating them  8)

Thanks natterjak :)   that base is still the best one of the 3 I have used so far. I will definitely go back to that one. Will probably try a base gravy from this site first just to make sure though  ;)

The base I am using at the moment is the 3 litre curry2go base from the ebook which I bought about a couple of weeks ago as I have some good success following Julian's videos. The only emission from the base was the seasoned oil which I did not have any of.

I do have seasoned oil now though as cooked a batch of Onion Bhaji's on Sunday :)

That's a fine food fest there Tongey.  My mouth is watering, i'm craving Indian and it's only 7:00 am :o All looking very good other than the kebabs :'( No matter how one tries to dress them up they never quite have that appealing look to them, do they.  Maybe something to do with the shape ::).  But they always taste so damn good.  Good luck in the kitchen on Saturday.  Keep us posted with the results and of course post some pics too ;)

Top pictures Tongey.

That base looks smooth as silk.

I like the kebab pictures. My kebabs look the same. Taste great though. Our friends always look forward to a BBQ at our place because they know they will be getting "dog turd" kebabs. ;D

Thanks for sharing Tongey - what's Chicken Kholaprui?

Thanks for the great feedback guys  :)

@curryhell. I am looking forward to a great day in the kitchen, thanks

Thanks Aussie. I am hoping my next batch of kebabs will be pleasing to the eye as well as tasting good!!

@Steve... Chicken Kholapuri is a dish from the south western part of India - Kolhapur. This is the recipe I followed. It involves a lot of ingredients and some patience to get it right. The first time I did it, the results were terrible :( But as I had bought all the ingredients I had to try it a 2nd time and it turned out much better (as per the picture!) Here is the link..

Hi tongey

Just seen your picture thread - wow what a lot of curry! good job looks very delicious. What Kebab recipe do you use?

If you are interested in trying another great recipe then Razors recipe is in my opinion superb too! (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4393.0 (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4393.0)). Razor also has an updated version on page 8 although it is probably worth reading the whole thread for tips etc.

Cheers

I agree with SP on this, I made some of these kebabs last night and they turned out excellent, what impressed me besides was that I managed to acquire some long square shafted tandoori skewers from the local asian shop for

Hey Whandsy

I've searched high and low for kebab skewers and cannot find anything... not even on ebay. I am going to get some made at a metal fabrication shop. Wide flat skewers...I don't care how much they cost  :P

Hi Mick

How about these? It's the 1st place I've checked. I just typed in tandoori skewers .au into google and this came up.

http://www.tandoorliving.com.au/Tandoor-tandoori-skewers-for-sale.html (http://www.tandoorliving.com.au/Tandoor-tandoori-skewers-for-sale.html)

The good thing about these compared to the round skewers is that the meat turns around as well as the skewer whereas the meat stays where it is and the round skerwer rotates >:(

Happy shopping pal

Cheers Whandsy, but I was looking for a flat skewer.

Even with these square skewers, the meat can still spin around if the mixture is a little loose.

I found these on ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FLAT-BBQ-SKEWER-STAINLESS-STEEL-25mm-Wide-3mm-thick-FLAT-500mm-LONG-/180786603909?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item2a17b8a785 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FLAT-BBQ-SKEWER-STAINLESS-STEEL-25mm-Wide-3mm-thick-FLAT-500mm-LONG-/180786603909?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item2a17b8a785)

but at  $ 23.50 each plus postage, :o  it's a joke. I know I said (at any cost) but I need to re-phrase that to any sensible cost.

I want 10 skewers, i'm sure I can get some made at a metalworkers here for less than $235 plus postage.

I'll let you know if/when I get some. :)

Have a search around Turkish shops/ wholesalers. Traditionally an Adana Kebab is cooked on a flat skewer, and looks exactly like tongey's kebabs.

Hi Mick.

It just so happens......that I got 4 of them which I can send you if you want. I received them today brand new. I ordered the square ones and the guy sent these by mistake. I paid ?13 for the 4. You can have them for the same price + postage if you want? If you are interested send me an inbox. I will get a picture on here now.

Thanks SP. Yes, I am definitely going to make Razors kebabs. Wanted to make them today. Got all the stuff ready to make them. But my skewers which arrived this morning are the wrong type. I received the flat blades instead of the square type... :( I may still make them and just cook them on the grill rack. What do you guys think?

PS I will dig the recipe out for the kebabs and post it in the starters thread.

Could well be interested mate, they are exactly what I am after. Are you happy to post them to Australia?

Give me a day or two, as I am going to see if I can get some made here in Perth. If it works out that I can't, or they are mega expensive....and you are happy to send them to OZ, i'll take them off your hands.

Thanks for the offer and I won't keep you waiting. :)
