I'll have one of each please jb, excluding the tikka masala  ;D  As always all dishes look BIR quality.  Channa looks a drier dish than that which i normally have seen in my local.  But just look at those rice grains    Now they're what i call separated    Spot on job mate.

You don't mess about when you decide to give those pans a rattle, JB. Don't listen to CH - I'll have a dod of everything, please! With just a couple of chapattis, I reckon I could give that feast a good seeing-to!

I'm exhausted looking at all that loverly food jb
cheers MT

DITTO.. ;D

Spot on jb, got me drooling 

Thanks guys,I was actually using up the last of some gravy I had left,didn't have much hence the dry chana massala.It all tasted very nice,definately takeaway standard,actually better than some of the below par food I seem to get from some places.The pathia was particlarly good.I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but the CTM was spot on,better than the overly sweet,bland stuff I've tasted of late.I did it slightly differently this time.As well as using my thick sweet massala paste I added a runny massala sauce.I've seen a couple of videos of BIR chefs doing it this way.

The Madras intrigues me. It looks a lot different from most of the photos we normally see. The texture and the colour is different. What's your take on this classic? I know it's not always easy to tell from photos.

Hey JB
your cooking always looks so good
maybe you could do a recipe post of all the curries you are happy with
