If it looks like dog chews and smells like dog chews ... it's dog chews!

But the Iceland stuff is the closest I've ever found to the real thing, while admittedly still sadly lacking compared to the real stuff. The way you cook it is important though. The best way I found was put a lump of the meat, because it is a lump when frozen, on a plate with a couple of sheets of kitchen roll under to mop up the excess grease. Microwave for about 1 minute, just to loosen the frozen lump, and then manually separate the pieces and spread them out so as to not be touvhing other pieces. This ensures no cold spots on the finished product and more even cooking. Then microwave again for about 30 seconds, depending on the microwave. You're just aiming to heat it to an acceptable temperature to eat so keep an eye on it on the second go. It's really easy to overdo it and it becomes tough. Done this way as far as I can tell it's virually identical to the real thing in texture. Frying pan method etc. doesn't work half as well and ruins the final texture.

Sorry to hear that T63
The first dish I made when I bought the Dishoom book was their house black dal and unfortunately I didn’t really think it was anything special. Granted, nothing I cook will be as delicious as the dal makhani I first experienced in Ahmedabad, but still disappointing.
Same with their chicken Ruby.
The one thing I keep returning to is their Sheekh Kebab recipe. Makes great keema for rice dishes too.
Spring almost here in Chicago and will soon be able to bring out the grill and cook outdoors for ‘proper’ kebabs etc.

This is the Salmon portion recipe I used. It was from Youtube, but I used the Masala I had made up instead of the one on the video.

Thank you. One for the weekend.
My elemental diet ends after today so I will partake as well,

This thread here on CRO has it all from when I made it, including the recipe I used.  OP by Dal Puri and a very easy / simplified recipe posted by Chewy Tikka.

Unfortunately, the link within to the Australian site I used is broken (Spicemama.com.au)  However, I think it was only a link to the sale of her product (Wayback Machine).  Here is the link to her Blog site which contains some recipes using it in the Recipe section.

Thanks for all the information, I found the site really interesting and have bookmarked it for further attention.
Shame the salmon recipe is no longer there as that is a favourite of Mrs T63 and would have been one of the first I would attempt.

Thanks!

Do you recall how many individual spices you used in your BBM?
It seems some blends have 50 or more different spices, a number of which would likely be near impossible to track down here in the U.K. That is the reason I bought a ready made masala from Ome Made which purportedly has 53 different spices in the mix.

I have been on a very restricted diet for medical reasons for the last four weeks but hope to use the masala for the first time next weekend.

The masala I bought came in a packet but I have transferred it to a washed out Bovril jar to protect from light, as that seems to be an important consideration when storing the spice. Traditionally it would have been stored in washed and cleaned beer bottles, or so it is reported.

Tempest, I don't remember if I wrote it down or printed what I ended up using, but I probably did.  I'll have a look, but I did bookmark 5 different online recipes that I would have used, if not as the recipe I followed, as guide to what to use and quantities.  I'll post the links in an hour or two when I'm at the PC.

I remember that some ingredients were just odd or difficult to obtain and I didn't use them.

I actually had mine packaged in amber glass beer bottles.

Edit:  I had saved more links than I thought.  I know I did do a lot or research before I made my batch.  The last link has a couple of recipes that actually use the stuff.
