Sirloin steak



I know It's not a curry. Just included for completeness and I am trying to increase my post count.

No more chips for the time being Dave. Finally got around to reducing the carbs. The Sherpur Naga doner (with chips) were my last. Caution needed if you use Naga Gold. I added too much and afterwards thought, actually, it's not unlike the prep for a colonoscopy, but in a jar.

With have to drop the rice as well. I will miss this the most. Suppose I can have a little now and then, as a treat. Another occasional treat will be a Happy naan. I hate flour though, It's chalk on a black board for me. Dammed stuff goes all over the place too. Last bag I opened it so carefully. Next thing I am covered in flour from head to toe. I guess baking is not my thing.

With naan, rice (or chips). Decent portion. Pretty sure they didn't have this on the menu when I went last. I would have tried it. I used to like naga back then. Not so keen now. Anyway, I had a go at making one with Mr. Naga Gold. Very tasty, but went through me like a dose of salts.

Dog chews, very apt

My local Iceland are doing 2 different doner meats now. I bought a bag of the Grill House brand. Is this the greaser? I can't remember. The other one they have was twice the price, so ignored it; not sure what it was called.

Thing is I won't want my doner to be like the real stuff. Real stuff as in typical bought in EF kebab shop fayre. Aren't they all made somewhere in Leicester? I believe some kebab shops make their own, but don't know any hereabouts.

The micro is fine for defrosting the kebab meat, sure.  Pan/wok gives the best results for me though. Sherpur style stir fry, ideally with a  homemade Manchurian sauce. The Asian hot & sweet sachets are a good compromise. G/G paste with lots of freshly ground pepper additions too. Let's not forget the all important trimmings either.

I posted a photo of a proper Shazanz sherpur doner on here once. Can't seem to find it.  Rolled in a naan. I recall someone commented on my post and said the cross section view of it looked like a Swiss Roll

Derby Dave also does a Bottle Masala tempest. I haven't tried it.

Omemade actually make Misty Ricardo's spice blends for him. Derby Dave and Misty are both moderators on a Facebook curry group (The Curry Secret) so perhaps there is a connection.  I recall Dave did post some pics of his Bottle curry there that looked interesting.

Found the Curry Secret to be a nice group. The BIR dishes (main focus) are decidedly new school, but there is lots of trad cooking as well, sponsored and independent. There are also a few guys on there who travel to Goa regularly. Their photos/descriptions of food over there are certainly inspiring. Looks quality stuff. Cheap too.
