Skewers look beautiful. Can’t cook on my grill outside right now. Today was -11 and that’s deg F not deg C.  Really cold.
Trying something new tonight. Have Steven Heap’s base and going to dilute it and make a biryani using that instead of water to cook the rice. Worth a bash.

Happy New Year folks.  I made Steven Heap’s base, pre-cooked chicken, tomato paste and onions and knocked out a few curries in recent weeks. Very nice dishes but still not quite the real BIR thing I remember from my UK days.
Going to be 0 degrees this weekend.  And that’s Fahrenheit not Celsius. Look it up. 😂

On a business trip last weekend, found myself in St.Louis Missouri and on my own one night so found a local Indian place and for once decided NOT to have vindaloo.
Found this place a short drive from the hotel and ordered takeout.

I found a Karaikudi Curry on the menu, had never heard of it so in for a penny (or $16.99)
I ordered it ‘spicy’ as here in the US it seems hot curries are milder than I’m used to.

Absolutely fantastic dish, great heat level and full of flavor. A definite repeat to order when on the road again and also to try making it at home. Seriously good curry.
A bit like a Chettinad, fiery and right up my alley.

If you like heat, seek it out.  Not often I’m blown away by traditional Indian food in the US but this was outstanding.

After all this time finally found out why my balti was destined for the bin. Not something that I had considered, but now obvious. It had been burnt beyond recognition. Did the same to a batch of Shababs base recently myself. My mistake. Lid seal of the pressure cooker hadn't seated properly. I wondered why it wasn't getting up to pressure. Got distracted and left it too long before checking what was going on. Ended up with a good inch and a half of dark bilge on the bottom of the pressure cooker. Scraped it and underneath it was caked in black soot. Took ages to clean. No rescuing this one either.

Good to hear Martin. Were you not given any Christmas crackers though? I used to like wearing the paper hats :) It looks like a few of your party brought their own.
