Just Joined? Introduce Yourself / Hello from Edinburgh... again!
« on: August 07, 2013, 06:05 PM »
Feel like an introduction is in order, even tho I joined nearly 6 years ago!
Kinda drifted away from home made curries, but back with a vengeance! I have a compulsion to make everything myself. Beer, curry, kitchen, even a car!
Took a trip to a rather well stocked asian supermarket buying vast quantities of spice (tempted by ones I'd never even heard of before!)
Made a batch of CA's base sauce and ready to go, starting tonight. Along with a nice home brewed beer  8)
Just need to decide what to make now, cheers!

Lets Talk Curry / Re: My first curry
« on: December 11, 2007, 09:43 AM »
Onto my second curry and by 'eck, it was a good un.  ;D
Was from Kriss Dhillons book. Chicken Dopiaza
Bearing in mind the first one of his I cooked was a little too 'cuminy' I left cumin out of this recipe as its already in the garam masala Also, the chicken was cooked with the finished base, rather than just the first stage of the base like the book suggests.
Burnt the roof of my mouth tho as I was eagerly shovelling it down!
Got 2 meals worth of base left. I suspect the missus will get bored of curry in the not too distant future!

British Indian Restaurant Recipe Requests / Lime Pickle
« on: December 07, 2007, 10:25 AM »
I've searched about but only recipes I've found appear to look more like a chunky jam sort of thing.
I'm thinking of something closer to a dry salsa type pickle (hopefully this is making sense!)
Quite tangy and hot.
If anyones been to britannia spice in edinburgh you'll know what I mean hopefully!
Anyone have a recipe? (or a clue what I'm on about!  ;D )

Unfortunately I got that carried away, and did such a good job of trashing the kitchen I forgot to take pics.
I did wonder about the lack of spices in the base I did.
Still got pile of base left so will get pics of that up later. Dunno if the missus would be up for another curry tonight, or tomorrow, or sat  ;D

Lets Talk Curry / My first curry
« on: December 06, 2007, 09:40 AM »
Made it last night using Kris Dhillons Curry Secret book.
Got in a wee bit of trouble with the missus this morning as she realised exactly how much onion smell had been absorbed into everything in the flat! (she eventually found a jumper that smelt ok!  ;D )
Anyhoo, having an internal kitchen was sweating like mad! The curry base turned out a reddy orange. Was it supposed to be yellow?
Anyway, the curry of choice was Chicken Bhuna. Didn't use any food colouring so it was a bit brown, and whilst it was the best curry I've made, it was in no way remotely similar to anything from BIR. I think it had a little too much cumin in it, and the chillies I used probably completely wrong. (used generic sainsbury's ones!)
Still, can't expect brilliance from the first attempt!
I did think the base was a little bland. Used a little less ginger than recipe said as I've noticed a couple folk say they thought there was too much.
Cheated with the pilau rice and used a tub of shwartz pilau seasoning. Couldnt be bothered with the whole hog after doing the curry base and meat!

Dunno if/when a repeat might be.
Anyone see it when it was on?

I wonder if Heston Blomenthal could be persuaded to take on curry?  ;D
