Mmm, i'm liking the look of that Rob.  Do post the recipe.  I have just the tool to produce an egg nest to wrap the shami in  .

Look forward to seeing your gadget CH. I am typing up the recipe now. It was fun reading this thread again. Where has the time gone? Chef Din has a video on the pate style Shami, but with beef. Worth a watch. Interesting how he feels we are unlikely to have come across one done this way in a BIR. Pretty much all I can remember from my Manchester days. The spicing for my Shami is somewhat different though.  Demographics again I suppose.

On Shami/Reshmi kebabs found the menu of an early TA I remember. They are still going in the same place.  May have been taken over several times by now, but perhaps still the same Pakistani family running it.  Like many they have branched out and do pizza, SFC, burgers etc., but parts of the menu remind me of times gone by, with several high quality Northern touches.

In the Appetisers section you will see both Shami and Reshmi kebabs (the latter with egg).  Reds onions on the menu too, as are chips with red salt.

Off topic but merit worthy.

Special offers. The Monster kebab. The biggest kebab in Stockport.

Kids menu.  Korma and chips.

House specialities/Chef's recommendation. Extensive balti and karahi selection. Cherry picks of popular Bangladeshi dishes.  A notable Mr Naga section. So not the usual chef's description. For example, Chef's special Naga spices. It's Mr Naga himself!  I like this.

More cherry picking.  On the Desserts menu there are Banana fritters/Pineapple fritters. Brilliant idea!

I have a few feral rats for exactly the same purpose !  (One of which was caught by little Squeaker last night, but I was able to capture it and release it outside, albeit a little the worse for wear ...).

His finished dish photo (below) perhaps lacks a little something, I can't put my finger on it ...

A pitta bread, perhaps ?!

Oh no, Bob - did you read that review? It gives it a score of 0/10 and says:

It has the texture of a graveyard
Tastes like existential dread
When you open the packet, it smells like someone has farted on it
There are absolutely no redeeming features about this product. None whatsoever.

Yes, a fair appraisal and summary. Could also apply to the other ready-made doner meat brands I have tried.

His finished dish photo (below) perhaps lacks a little something, I can't put my finger on it, but overall It's a useful review.
