The two peshwari naans on the left were done using some restaurant naan bread I got the other night.In fact they were not as good as the others,maybe my dough was better!!

Wow! What a marathon! I am now officially starving after seeing that lot. Well done! :D

Stirling effort JB.
Food looks absolutely fantastic.

Hi JB
Hats off to you! - I don't think I could cook that much in one evening to the standard that I see in those pictures!
Nice one.

I don't think I could cook that much in one week, even allowing for both lunchtime and evening sessions. I am truly staggered.

One word JB, 'gobsmacked' :o
No, one word isn't enough. What an amazing array of different offerings JB, I bet your house was a very very happy home after scoffing that lot. Everything looks superb and if I were to be presented with that table, I would be a very happy chappy too :D
Well done fella, I like your work!
Ray :)

Far out thats impressive! How many people did you have coming round? I cannot comprehend cooking that much food in one night! Great pics.
Cheers

It was a marathon cook off for sure.I did it in stages over three days so I actually had time to enjoy the food on the night.The look on my guest's faces when it arrived was a picture.One of my neighbours was passing by when I was doing the gravy,he poked his head through my kitchen window enquiring if I was running an Indian Restaurant from home! It was actually only for four people but I guess I wated to show off my cooking skills,there was plenty left over for the next day.
Many thanks to Curyhell for supplying his North Indian dish recipe,simply wonderful.Also to CBM,I based my jalfrezi on one of his many excellent videos,that naga paste is mind blowing stuff.Blade's tikka is still hard to beat shame he's not around any more.I also added a little bit of cassia bark to my sag aloo(as per Solarspice's suggestion on one of his recipes),it was virtually identical to one made by one of my local takeaways.I followed Ifind4u's method of pre-cooking the potatoes.It uses a considerable amount of oil but the texture in the end was spot on,not only that but the leftover oil smelt like pure BIR.I'm not sure if it was the panch poran that did it but it smelt fantastic.If I had had more leftover oil I would have cooked my curries with some for sure.
The biggest success was naan breads.Apart from the ones I made using some restaurant naan bread dough I would be happy to have had them in a restaurant.The balti garlic chili ones were an inspiration from a local take-away.The peshwari naans were spot on,I used Abdul's filling of condensed milk,coconut and almond powder.I waited until my oven was really hot until I put them in,I think that's where I was going wrong before.The most difficult thing was getting the peshwari naan filling to stay within the naan when rolling it out,again one of CBM's videos came to the rescue.

Wonderful stuff JB, deserving of the praise you've received. Which nan recipe do you use?
-
Dedication JB, looks epic.
How much better do you think your cooking has become in the last year!
Especially with your Zaal session.
cheers Chewy

Thanks for the kind comments,I know you all know how long these things can take,it really does make it all worthwhile guys.The naan recipe is here..

I've tried quite a few naan recipes from this site and from other scources.I've never been completely happy with any of them but this one is spot on.They always seemed to turn out too hard,but these(apart from the ones made with the restaurant dough!!) were fantastic.

I feel quite confident now that I can produce a fairly decent BIR meal.The Zaal lesson was fantastic(we must go back),although credit must be given to this site and all of the members' input,especially all the videos from actual BIR kitchens.When I think back to when I first joined I honestly hadn't a clue about BIR cooking,it was Abdul's lessons that really gave me confidence so a big thanks to him as well.

Totally agree on that Jason

I second that thankyou as well
What is there left to say jb?? F*****g good job fella. I'll let Spice know if they're a chef down anytime I know just the person :D. In the meantime, when are you hanging the flock wallpaper and when is the grand opening of your place ::) ::). A true testimony and credit to your cooking skills and also to the site and its contributors. It just shows what can be achieved by using all the information freely available on this site because of like minded individuals efforts who are always trying to further the cause of BIR cooked at home 8). Now can i have a North Indian Special, mushroom pilau, saag aloo, and a peshwari naan please. Oh and throw in a cauliflower bhaji as well ;).

I take it then, that the NIS was fairly close to the mark then ;D ;D Glad you've cracked the naan bread mate and i bet that tikka was fantastic. Keep up the good work. That was no feast, it was an absolute total and utter self indugent blow out ;D ;D I think those beers were very well deserved mate ;)
-
Very well done Jb it all looks wonderful :P
The standard of food being cooked on here lately would put a lot of BIR t/a to shame :D expect enquiries from some of them soon Jb ;)

Absolutely stellar! So much work, so much reward!
