the half & half recipe

What recipe:? I'm afraid you've lost me. It might be biryani but I don't think you actually say so. And what are the photos of, exactly? And did Gordon Ramsay include bananas? And have you actually made the dish with the exact same ingredients, quantities and method which you've written up? Is it a recipe straight out of the book or have you changed it? And, sorry about this, but I agree with Cory that you've lost many of us with all the abbreviations.

CA,

CIAH is short for curry in a hurry - chriswg's post on making a base in sort of 20 mins (it took me 30mins and i'm on the slow side on cooking). https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=3720.0


George,

the photo's are of the various stages. Gordon did not include bananas - for me u can't have biryani without a portion of madras curry sauce and a portion of banana fritters - the combination is pure heaven. must be a west midlands thing.

i'll add Gordon's recipe so that u can compare. the method as posted is exactly as i made except i did not have almonds or cucumber but would add these on the next make. i also used more yogurt 200ml but the amount is too much and would reduce to that in the recipe next time. i only found the batter recipe too late.

the Budapest video (Expert Village site) is a key essential to watch as i've essentially followed that method but picked out Gordon's ingredients/qty where the links don't work. https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=2688.0.

believe me this is well worth a try - we loved it.
