Well after lots of failed attempts with onion Bhajis I had almost given up on them, but I thought I should give the IG Bhaji a go b4 I quit as I have spent many of curry evening there. the previous attempts didn't have the potato inside and what a diferance in texture, not stodgy in the middle they where very good !!

Thanks Axe great job!  ;)

masoor dal which is the red one seems the best for Tarka Dal and Dhansak simmer for about 20-25 Min's drain and blend until smooth, Keep in fridge or freeze until cooking time  ;)

Maybe not a major breakthrough  but at last I have found a tomato puree that looks right taste right it also has the right consistency for the job ( AYAM BRAND Tomato Puree;)

HI Axe, can you find out which brand and type of curry powder they use in their mix from the Indian Garden ??

Thanks Axe, yes that's right I am a flying Instructor in Malaysia now and missing the Indian Garden, I think I have got Ashek's Chicken Dhansak down as a good copy after the few visits to their kithen for demo's (he uses vinegar instead of lemon juice) very nice, I think all you guys should try as I haven't seen this in anyother Dhansak recipe  :P

CA, Lentils are not gram flour which is made from chick pea, forgive me, but I am surprised you do not know this.

Ray, is that the Pataks description? no wonder my test wasn't right.

HI, I'm  using  a Dhall gram flour which is from lentils, I buy from my local Indian shop in Malaysia (bhaji taste the same  as BIR but I have to work on the cooking process a bit more) ::)

I love the Indian Garden - Burgess Hill, I have spent many of Sunday nights there with good friends enjoying their food, especially the Chicken Dhansak mmmmmmmmm
Now I live in Malaysia and cant get the curry's like the Indian Garden  :'( Please say Hi to the Guys there from Bob the Pilot (they will now who I am) ;)

Hi andy,
I cook chicken Dhansak often and I have found that red lentils work well, but yellow is also ok. I always boil then simmer the lentils for about 25-30 mins they should breakdown, let them cool down for a while then put them in a blender and blend until smooth. put into a container then into the fridge. you can do this a few hours before of the day before if you want.

when you come to use it you will see the lentil mix will be firm and hard but that's good just spoon into the pan when cooking and mix into the sauce.

I love Dhansak and I have good results now after lots of pactice .

Bob
