Hi Razor, recently got "Authentic Balti Cooking" book and i am very impressed with the recipes in there (very much like BIR) and this dish is great, didnt use the recipe for dhal from the book used this one instead https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=320.0
The taste is just wonderful very moreish, when i do this dish again will post some pics.

Hi UF,

I agree, I think this book is great, certainly the best that I've got anyway.

The recipes are very good, it's a pity that there is no Jal Frezi in there, but you can get it off their web site.

I'd love to hear from anyone who's has actually visted the Kushi Restaurant in Brum, just to see if it's any good.

Ray

Will be doing the Jalfrezi next week so will post pics.
I agree Razor this book is my favourite as well, will be making alot from this book in the future.
Out of interest have you tried the dishes with the pre-cooked chicken recipe ?
If not you have to its just superb, very aromatic, really adds to the dishes cooked from the book.
I have froze a few batches of the base sauce and a couple of serving of the pre-cooked chicken, will be using them tonight, so will find out if the taste has improved or got worse.

Hi UF,

Yes, when I first got the book, I tried alsorts using the pre-cooked chicken and lamb.  Even on it's own, the precooked meat tasted proper good.

The CTM is a bit if a faff though, but agian, very nice, and the korma needs it's own base (included in the book)

All in all, an excellent book IMO

Went on a camping trip over the weekend,taking a batch for two people of the pre-cooked chicken (frozen) and made the dhansak the sauce (which was frozen) was made on the Thursday as we went away on the Friday night.
The taste was excellent the chicken was very tasty indeed, so from what i tasted the precooked chicken and base can both be froze and doesnt lose any taste.
Also made a batch of this ckicken tikka recipe https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=874.0 (This recipe was frozen)
and used this madras recipe https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=674.0
Had a couple from Solihul come over and couldnt believe the smell that was wofting over the camp site.Also one of my friends joined us on the Saturday and he absolutely loved the Chicken Tikka Madras.Then mopped up the left over sauce with Aloo Parathas.
All in all a superb weekend break with help from this site.
Thanks.

Hi UF,

Well done mate.  Were about to embark on our first camping trip as a family soon, and I also am planning to take a curry or two on the trip. 

I can imagine everyone sat in their tents, green with envy at the aroma coming from your tent.

Ever thought of opening up a Tent Takeaway next time you go lol ;D

Ray

I did think about it believe me.
There was people walking past with their  noses in the air.
A bit off topic so sorry CA but i used this gas barbeque  http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.family-camping-supplies.co.uk/prod_images/359696%2520-200.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.family-camping-supplies.co.uk/item.php%3Fcat%3D10%26i%3D43&usg=__JRvaCW-BAsiVkPmKJYxJ5JXUFFU=&h=200&w=300&sz=15&hl=en&start=10&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=Uug06TRm5B63eM:&tbnh=77&tbnw=116&prev=/images%3Fq%3Droyal%2Bgas%2Bbarbecue%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26tbs%3Disch:1

What a good idea! Going beyond reheated frozen food, it should be perfectly possible to take along base sauce and small pots of all the other ingredients to make up any curry over a camping gas stove.

Hello George, the  curry base, chicken tikka and tarka dhal were all frozen but by the time we got down to the campsite ,set tent up etc....Everything was defrosted so it was still marinading all the time it was defrosting.
One thing i would say is make sure what ever you are putting the curry  in or chicken tikka etc.. that the bags,boxes are securely taped down or placed into another bag(if using bags) because it does make a mess if it leaks a little.
