Thanks for the heads up on the Naga Gold Rob.  I'll get some when I'm next at the wholesalers. I do dabble in pastry but have to agree, the flour does mysteriously end up in unexpected places at times.

Mmm, i'm liking the look of that Rob.  Do post the recipe.  I have just the tool to produce an egg nest to wrap the shami in 

With that number of orders you're obviously doing something right UF. More power to your curry pan  .

You go without. Wait until everyone has left and then order a home delivery.

 

I've yet to try Naga Gold

Appearance alone that scores 10/10.  Looks straight out of the take away.  I've no reason to expect it didn't taste as good as it looked, obviously depending on your expectations for a madras.  And there are a variety of views on how a madras should  taste    I certainly would have been very happy to taste test it for you.  New Year's resolution for you - no crinkle cut with your curries !!  Whilst crinkle cut are my preference, they are never to be seen on the same plate as curry.  Maybe it's a northern thing like warm pork pies with mushy peas and sliced picked onion    Keep posting the stunning efforts from your kitchen mate.
