I'm with Axe on this.

This site gives you everything you need to make curries quickly and cheaply, and in good quantity. Whenever you make a preparation ingredient (G+G, rice, base etc) you always make some extra. Then making the final curry is extremely quick and costs next to nothing. There's just no point in these, what we can do at home is better.


Having said that, I was rather partial to Iceland Beef Madras, just ?1.50 

All you've got to do now is write some quantities besides the list of ingredients, together with a method (e.g. whack into microwave), and you've posted your first curry recipe George! 

Congratulations!  ;D

Where is this website going? Curries from Lidl and Iceland?

What has happened to all experimenting and coming up with new and existing BIR Curries? rejuvenating old curries? a twist on existing curries?

I stopped contributing for quite a while because of this, but I think this website needs some more input on actually cooking curries rather than those we buy ready made from supermarkets, whether it is a bargain for a pound or ?1.50 or not........

Come on guys we can all do better than that and with far better results.......

I am still in Florida, but today actually made Cory Anders Base Sauce to a degree but somewhat modified.........

On Saturday I bought half a leg of lamb had it de-boned and butterflied and made Lamb Tikka, which I marinated for 24 hours and then cooked in a friends oven on Sunday.

Today I made a new dish for me, which was Lamb Tikka Bhuna (HOT) and I mean hot!!! I used fresh Habinaro Chillies and the base sauce I made. It was unbelievable and I will posting the recipe on here within the next couple of days along with pictures.......

My American friends were knocked out with this and had not tasted "BIR" quality like this before anywhere in the USA.......

I truly believe that this website has a lot to offer, but we need to concentrate more on cooking our own rather than demonstrating what we bought at our local supermarket.......

Today is my first day off for a while so was planning to make a base, CK tikka massalla for the Mrs & CA Vindaloo for me with Peterandjens pilau rice.  Also going to try making the IG Onion Bhaji by Axe for the first time.  Might not bother, do Lidl do Onion Bhajis?

fantastic, let us know how you get on. Just incase, there is a breakdown of the recipe at the end of the first post in the topic.

QuoteIf I could make dishes as tasty as those, I'd be well pleased.

George, are you serious? I was thinking about the Morrisons Chicken Saag as per your request for members to gauge themselves. But if you are honestly saying you have never cooked a better dish, I already have my measure, i'm afraid.
