Sounds top notch BIR
Is it just the chicken on the iron and the curry served in dish.

The way my local does it, its a thin curry sauce, chicken and fried peppers/onions/tomatoes all served on the sizzling tawa.  The tawa is quite deep almost like a wok to keep it all on.

Don't forget to add your fennel seed to the dish suggested above for your aniseed twang.

Thanks for the tip! Never used fennel seeds, would I fry them whole in oil at the start?  How much would I need roughly for a 2 person curry?

Thanks for the suggestions guys.  Ive just checked the YouTube videos and they look nothing like what I've had in my local, so I guess its a made up curry!  I'll try the madras recipe and customize it a little

I'm hosting a curry night this Saturday, going to do a Ceylon, Bhuna and CTM so might not get a chance to try this Tawa for another week 

Hi all,

One of my favorite curries is a "Sizzling Chicken Tawa" which I've only ever seen in one restaurant.  I can only describe it as a very tomatoey Madras with an aniseed tang.  Is this a well known curry or specific to my local BIR?  Its described as "A combination of aromatic herbs & spices cooked with onions, tomatoes and fresh coriander served on a sizzling iron griddle (tawa) to give its own distinctive flavour"  Any ideas how I would recreate something like this?
