Thanks for the comments, didn't notice the original had no salt in. I must of picked up on that somewhere because the recipe I copied down has 1 tsp which i halved along with the other ingredients. I got 6 out of the halved amounts.

Cheers Garp, I stuck to the original pretty rigidly, only difference was I didn't use chicken tikka, and only used 1 heaped tsp of chilli powder.I took the first reduction down quite a bit too, which is where I went wrong the first time I used the taz base.

Tried that on Monday! Reckon I'll need another dose or even crank it up a notch and try a phall.

Awesome pics, they'll be hard pushed to find a curry that lives up to that down under!

Prawns just came from asda, they were the raw variety from the chiller.

Might have overestimated the base in the my recipe, more like 350 ml.

Yeah used the spiral method after seeing the hairy bikers having a go. Mine were a tad doughy in the centre if I'm honest, but not bad for my first attempt. Ill post up the recipe I adapted from a chapatti recipe.

Unclefrank; glad you like the rice presentation, was being lazy and turned it out from the dish I'd just microwaved it in! As for the lime leaves they're not essential, had it in a bir a whlie ago on a pathia and thought I'd give it ago. Its adds a lovely flavour, but could leave it altogether out or grate a little zest over it, or a squeeze of juice.
