Hi guys, i'm afraid im going to drag this forum into the gutter  ;D

I love the shortcuts that can  be made but still achieving a decent curry.  On Sunday, i'm having a "curry day" where i invite a load of mates round with the families and every one brings a home made curry.

We did this over xmas and it was a resounding success with loads of home made stuff.....even our Japanese student cooked a delicious Japanese curry

However, i'm sure ive read on here about BIR's using cream of tomato soup and cream to make chicken tikka massala and i'm sure i did this at xmas with superb results.

But i can't find the recipe....so if any of you good fellows could point me in the right direction, it would be most welcome

Thanks in advance

Andy

Hi guys.   We're having about 12 friends + kids over for a curry day this monday.   Everyone is bringing one home made curry and i shall be doing a couple plus rice and sundries.

I was also given a new breadmaker for crimbo and was toying with the idea of making some naan bread using the machine.   Has anyone done it ?....is it possible ?   

Can anyone point me in the right direction to a recipe...especially for flavoured naans (Peshwari being my favourite).

Oh....just to make it fun, i've never made any type of bread before  : and never used a bread maker  ;D

Thanks a million in advance

Curry and forum newbie here so please be gentle with me.   

I adore dhansak and would love to make one.  However, i'm not too sure how to prepare the lentils.   Do you boil them first or just add them dry to a simmering base ?  Do they naturally break down and form a sauce or would you blend them ?

I'm a bit lost so any info for this wonderful curry would be very welcome

Thanks

Andy
