The chicken tikka, made mostly to Blade's recipe, I included onion seeds because I like them :)

In the pan, looking very appetising being such a lovely deep, rich red colour. Differently to previous curries I've made, the base sauce wasn't added until after the pre-cooked chicken. This had a bit of a detrimental effect to the finished dish as the chicken seemed then overcooked. I think that next time I'll under cook the chicken before adding to the pan.

The finished dish, photo taken inside (for colour difference). We love chips, yes perhaps it should have been rice, but given the choice we always choose chips!

This photo taken outside. Really pleased with the look of this vindaloo (first one I've cooked!)

Importantly though, flavour and taste. Well interestingly for us, the heat strength seemed more like Jahlfrezi. Depth of flavour was great. Salt was the baddie though. Far too salty, the chicken breasts were brined for a few hours initially, but not with 60g salt per litre of water, two good pinches of salt in one litre. The tikka had salt, of course the recipe had some salt too.
This was cooked for two though, and we've found before that doubling up on amounts can be too much. Has anyone else found this?
I'd certainly make this again, slight misnomer on the recipe though, in the ingredients tomato paste was listed and omitted in the method. I added it after the spice had singed.
Comparison to my local BIR's, close, very close in terms of look, smell, nearly there with taste, BIR sauce seemed to be more smooth and have a better consistency. I shall continue with the quest though!
Note to self, under cook the chicken, add less salt, add lots and lots more chillies! :)
Finally the curry assault on the cooker!

it was tempting to leave the cooker like this, but seeing as I'm not at home it was only polite to clean up really well!
Apologies for the images having to be clicked on, damn iPad, stupid Apple products not being compatible with the image server, grrrr! Rant over, sorry!
All the best Colette.

Sorry, I didn't read your post properly and now from my iPad I realise your point about the server.
So try the photobucket App and that seems to work using the iPad.
Example below using the share with the img link.

Hi Petrolhead!
Thanks for the info :)
Testing -
I hope the image isn't too big, I can only crop, not resize on the iPad. But, I suspect there's an app for that :)
Cheers :)
Edit: Testing failed, image too large, back to the pc.
