I must say that this is a great quick and easy curry to do! I did it again the other night and held it on high heat with the g and g, tom puree and spices in for a little longer than usual as an experiment and it got lovely and dark and quite stickyish. I was panicking a bit but with plenty of oil and the g and g pureed in oil with a bit of water i thought it would be safe. Anyhow it turned out great even with normal chilli powder (Kashmiri Mirch on its way). Thank CT another winner in my household!! Probably need a little more base?!? Can't wait for the Kashmiri powder to come and try that!
:) :P

Nice one Edwin
Glad you gave this a go and enjoyed it ;D
I'm out of my favorrite Kashmiri chilli, very hard to get at the moment around here.
Going to take a trip to Newcastle's west end and stock up.
cheers Chewy
-
Well done Edwin, I don't like my curries swimming in sauce, this looks great. :)
-
Another great looking curry
best, Rich

That looks the buisness mate, I had a chewy madras last night.
Happy days.
Going to take a trip to Newcastle's west end and stock up.
cheers Chewy
Hi chewy Brighton Grove had MDH deggri mirch in yesterday. no kashmirri mirch (are these the same ?)
Bottom shelf left hand corner. Next to the MDH Kichen King.
Hope this helps.
Lovely stuff.
-
Thanks DH
I'll have a dodge down Elswick later on in the week.
Deggie Mirch is not quite the same to me, its more like a chilli with a smokey Paprika mixed in
and not as vibrant a red colour.
Just my quirk, which I have a few... LoL. ;D
Which my latest is PRIYA Ginger Pickle, amazing curries with just a touch of this stuff. ;)
cheers Chewy
-
Thanks chewy, if you find any kasmirri mirch let me know.
Did your 70's lamb passanda last night, class.
Used mutton for the first time(long slow cook)
davey,
Sorry for hijaking the thread Eddwin.
-
Fine looking madras the EC. That kashmiri chilli powder will give it an even better colour and add another layer of flavour :D
-
Another great looking dish Eddie !!!
-
Well look what arrived yesterday!! The Kasmiri powder 85p per pack. So a try out was inevitable and i must say thet there is quite a difference, more intense and smokey, kind of paprikaish and red! V V nice
:P

Great pictures Ed.
Since discovering this site, I have ONLY used Kashmiri chilli. And yes, I agree, Chewy's Madras is one of the best curries ever. 8)
Give CA's Vindaloo a try too with the Kashmiri powder. Another treat. 8)
-
Wow, that looks spot on the money Edwin.
Take a look at some of my other recipes here, they may inspire your currying.

85p is a very good price, was that online, in the UK? :)
cheers Chewy
-
Hi Chewy, thats praise indeed.
The powder was on line from spices of India, 85p per pack so i bought 3 =
-
Thanks Edwin ;)
Good to know, I'll order some, if I can't pick any up in Newcastle.
cheers Chewy

Am I correct in thinking it's old stock they are selling at this price? I mean the listing I saw said the expiry was August '12, not long.
-
Lol . Couldn't resist, ;D I had a good look at there site and most stuff is overpriced, for being online.
I've ordered 6 packets Kashmiri and 6 packets of SHAN Pilau Biryani @85p another bargain,
plus some Mini Papads, which are as rare as hen's teeth around here.
The MDH foil packaging makes the sell by date a none issue, it will be just as fresh
if you opened a packet this time next year, but of course I'ts not going to last that long in my kitchen. ;) ;D
cheers Chewy
-
I agree with you about their pricing on most things, lock n lock containers seem a blessed exception though and I tend to buy some with each order. Their "fresh produce" doesn't seem all that fresh to me, either. But I'm drifting off topic so should stop!
-
Excellent service, got a knock at 8.00am this morning with my goodies ordered.
We must have caused a run on the Kashmiri Mirch as I got new stock, BB June 2013.
Can't be bad and its stopped raining and sunshine, good start to the day. :D

You cant fault there delivery can you?
Chewy thats looks like a nice box of goodies, what the Shan biryani stuff like and do you have a preferred recipe to use it with?
Been watching your vids and ther are great!

Hi Chewy & All
Please can you tell me - in what and how you use your Pilau Biryani mix?
Many thanks!
-
Ed and Solarspace beat me to it, re: Pillau Biryani??
Very curious Chewy. I've seen this product many times, but never cosidered buying it. ???
-
I have been on the trail for the Kashmiri chili powder for a month or so now and with the amount of Asian grocers and wholesalers in Tower Hamlets I have been surprised to of only come across it once in my travels so far, and that was in a massive packet for around
-
Hi Guys
Shan Pilau Biryani
Although good, I ignore the traditional recipe on the back of the box.
Instead I use the mix in the pre fry of the Pilau
You only need 1tbs of mix per cup of Basmati, I'ts also good to add 0.5 tsp of Chinese Salt - MSG - optional.
I did a video of this, but didn't publish it at the time, when I realised that tw*t from curry2go was ripping off peoples recipes and methods (Pressure Cooker)
and making money from it.
I know its daft really, as once you share on the internet its open season for abuse and your stuff is public domain.
But I really dislike the Bogus and the Bullshiters of this world. (Rant Over) >:(
Anyway I'll have to write a recipe later for this, as I've too much on today..
But you will make the most amazing Pilau with these spices :D
cheers Chewy
TT, Mirch means Chilli and I think Razor tried Fudco brand and didn't like it, not sure :-\
-
A recipe would be great (and vid if you still have it)
Cheers Chewy

Not daft at all mate.
If you've took the time and trouble to put things on Vimeo or on this site for the good of others to see and learn from, I can understand you getting a bit miffed if someone rips it off and makes money from it by calling it a "secret revealed".
I am still new to this, but have learned SO much in a short time from your goodself, CA, CBM, Razor and many more on this site who share their knowledge for free. And it is very much appreciated.
I look forward to seeing the pillau rice recipe, and in your honour, when I open my restaurant, I'll call it Chewy's Special Pillau. ;) ;D LOL!!
-
Here here A M
Better still Chewy why dont you come down and cook me one ;D
How much would a cab be to wimbledon
Better still when you arrive I'll have a nice curry2go home style curry waiting for you ;D ;D
look forward to seeing your rice recipe ;)

Than you again Chewy. It will be cooked very soon in our household.

Well worth a watch that mate - dont have a pressure cooker - but would love to know the ingredients to the packet - there looked to some whole stuff in there
If there is a chance Chewy mate - send us a pic of the ingredients list
best, Rich

Cheers chewy brought some of that powder yesterday will be giving it ago tonight with the left overs from yesterdays curry cooking
By the way on the packet I brought where it says premium quality there is a 2010 superior taste award
just thought I'd share that
-
On the Kashmiri Mirch theme, i was in my local garden centre and came across their spice shelves on there was a wee packet of Kashmiri Chillis ground rom Seasoned Pioneers, i bought some and when i cooked a curry with it it was mighty hot, in fact hotter than any other chilli powder i have used, is it meant to be mega hot as the MDH advert seems to suggest its a milder heat??
-
Hi mikeyp
I've never thought MDH Kashmiri Mirch or Deggi Mirch were "MILD" chilli powders.
They just represent Chilli with flavour and colour to me and add extra quality to my recipes
which I don't get from generic chilli powders.
Not sure where they come on the Scoville scale, but I would say more of a medium, than mild.
cheers Chewy
-
thanks for posting the video chewy
made that rice last night and it was so simple and very tasty .
I would urge Members to give it a try :P
-
Went to my local cash and carry today and the Fudco Kashmiri Chili stated mild on the packet. I think I will hold out for the MDH brand as Chewy pointed out Fudco Kashmiri hasn't had a good review in the past. :-\
Luckily enough I picked up The Shan biriani mix and spotted a few nice pans also.
There is so much on offer in this place I often forget what I went there for, long overdue I started to write a list.
The first time in my life I've actually brought a packet of MSG.
What a transformation, only a few months ago all I really cooked was Chilly con carne and chips and beans etc.
When I made a curry I only used a jar of Pataks paste, I'm so pleased not to be tied to these anymore.
-
Cheers Chewy, the chilli i bought certainly does impart a different taste and a vibrant colour to my dishes, in fact so much that i will just be using Kashmiri chilli from now on. :)

Thanks again Chewy for another amazing recipe.
I made six cups of rice, as we had friends round on Saturday night, so I used one onion, one bulb of garlic and one packet of mix.
Very, very nice indeed. 8)
