I almost forgot. Bubble & Squeak was also a regular before the fancy dishes. Those were the days. Just found a recipe for it online and there's a fried egg perched on top.  No egg thank you very much.  Ridiculous idea.

Just about to give this a go.
regarding the Chopped Tomato . . . are we talking fresh or tinned ?

Tinned. Here are a couple of MDB balti dishes from this week. I like a fair bit of balti juice.

Underway.  Spicy lemon and herb chicken.  Bramley apple pork sausages.

The Stranglers were still touring. Perhaps they still are.

No more heroes any more! I am a tad slow but got there in the end :)

I hope your Heroes were full size. A lot of the confectionary old favourites seem to have shrunk these days. Just the other day a friend told me that Toblerone have reduced the number of their peaks.

So what you say? Well, Madras is/has been, my go to for the last few months as I can get away with the least 'stirring'. 
BAJ

Yes, less stirring is the old way (old school) or part of it. I am pretty sure on this. Seen the technique in use at a TA, many times now. Minimal stirring of the gravy, hardly any, and the pan is not moved (or even touched) until the curry is finished. Convection is reduced (I think) and heat is retained. I expect there are more explanations.The crunch though is that this technique is not limited to just a madras.

Wishing you a speedy recovery from your injuries BAJ.

Oh yes, now you mention it, I do remember Vencats.  But the fact that it was "by Sharwoods" is little in the way of recommendation ... !

I had no idea Sharwoods had been around for so long. I like the recipe in the Vencat advertisment. Not often you see one where the curry is cooked in an oven. Expect the great Ronnie Barker researched this for his Indian chef sketch. So (paraphrasing) where he adds, ... Or, you can cook it for 350 hours at 2 degrees F.

Bob, thank you so much for posting your mum's curry recipe. It brings back fond childhood memories of comfort food.

Reckon we were well fed back then. Unlike the current chicken nugget generation. Even the kids' menu at the TAs now just have nuggets, and more nuggets, or similar. I was pleased see, however, that after tracking down a TA that I used to go to many years back in the North West, they have a half portion of chicken korma (and chips) available, as an alternative to the nuggets, so there is still some hope for future generations.

My mum's curry recipe from the early '70's.

And in exchange, my late mother's transcription of her late mother's recipe for Christmas Pudding — the truncated part would have read "Barley wine" before it was partially obscured by parcel tape ...  Better (IMHO) than any of today's commercial offerings, good tho' some are ...

** Phil.

That's one seriously rich Christmas pud recipe Phil. How it should be. Think I have another cooking notebook somewhere with mum's Christmas cake recipe. May be lost though. Could have been in the loft. Don't go there often these days. Not that long ago I could hear something scratching about. My neighbour insisted it was just house sparrows, so I ignored it, for several months.Turned out to be a scurry of squirrels. Loads of them. Absolutely trashed everything that was stored up there beyond recognition.
