Hi Tim

Good to see you here, another convert from my CC-UK sig! Enjoy the curries, and when you're doing your first one have a go at upping some pics (you can see my first attempt from 2007 just here

https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1838.0

The Sig works and here are my first curry pics, my missus thinks I'm mad doing this but she has put up with me doing this with my various motors for years so it's not THAT odd to her.... So some pics:





Now she just said to me "the only reason the rice was in that shape was because you wanted it to look good on a forum..... you sad ****"  ;D

Well Dipuraja's Chicken Tikka is in the fridge awaiting tomorrow nights tasting, I am going to make some base this week and have a massive curry fest this weekend.  Going to try 4 curries at once to see which we like the most.

My cupboard now has some serious quantities of spices, buying in bulk is very much cheaper than stocking up from Waitrose 

Well, it's now been put in the fridge for it's 20 hour marinade, smelt really good when mixing it!  Only thing I may change is the food colouring, I mixed it by hand and my hands are now VERY red 

Next time I will either use less colouring or none at all, for my first time I wanted to make sure I followed every step to the letter.

Will report back tomorrow when I try it as a simple starter with salad and lemon (like in a BIR)

Hi Tim

Enjoy the recipes. You won't be disappointed with Dips Tikka - if you can find the ingredients. I've never seen the Kashmiri Masala paste in a store, I've only ever bought from Spices of India.

Yeah I found that via Google, what I am having issues sourcing is the tandoori paste from Pasco, from what I've seen this is readily available oop north but nothing down south, I emailed Paco directly to see what I can arrange.  Anyone know of an online retailer I can get some from?

Thanks for the Welcome, very firendly bunch!  ;D

Very fortunate first post that!!  I think I may well give Dipuraja's Chicken Tikka a crack tomorrow!  Thanks for the welcome, this is a great forum, very friendly, I only found it due to another forum (CCUK).

My names Tim, I have been a curry addict for years now, my 8 year old is also into her curries now so thought I would stop buying the greasy takeaways and look online for some great recipe?s.  I do cook curries but usually from some recipe book, they don't always taste like they should!

The one thing I really want to learn how to do properly is Chicken Tikka, I can never get my home cooked Chicken Tikka to taste or look like ones bought in a restaurant any advice would be great!!

Looking forward to making some of the ideas from this great site!
