I'll take the plunge.  A few photos from this week.  Last night?s dinner was Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Naga Jalfrezi, both served with Egg Fried Rice.

Chicken Tikka Masala



loorydo?s recipe with c2go base and no cream. Blade's tikka.  As usual the wife loved it.

Chicken Naga Jalfrezi



CBM?s Jalfrezi recipe using c2go base, chalice hot curry oil and 1 ?  tbsp Mr. Naga Pickle.  On the warm side!  I managed two spoonfulls.  Pretty good though.  Will make it again.

Egg Fried Rice



So far this is my best fried rice.  The rice was prepared using Dave Loyden?s (Undercover curry) Pilau method, and with the KD2 egg fried rice recipe ingrediants.  Amoy reduced salt soy sauce.

One from earlier in the week.

Punjabi Tandoori Masala

 

My first go at Stephen Lindsay's recipe , with c2go base and Blade?s tikka.  Great recipe!  Will be making this regularly. Sorry about photo quality.

Are you sure you haven't got the takeaway bag hidden somewhere Rob?  Those curries are absolutely mouthwatering.  I've only just gotten over this mornings curry porn now i'm right back where i started ;D.  I love CMB's jalfrezi.  Must try adding some Mr naga and see what it brings to the party :  SL' Punjabi masala is the next dish to cook once my tikka is done.  CTM, i'll pass on that one i think but we all have to cook dishes that don't necessarily appeal to our own tastes

good stuff Rob 

Great pics Rob, I'm curried out after last night but they are whetting my appetite!

Looks fantastic Rob, well done

Roast Chicken for dinner today, but have had a sudden change of mind  ;D

Just cooking a roast dinner,doesn't look as appealing now! They look mighty fine dishes indeed. I'm a big fan of CBM's jalfrezi.I only add a teaspoon of naga pickle though,it gives a nice subtle flavour but that quantity doesn't seem to overpower the final dish.

All CBM's stuff is spot on - you can see he has taken the time to work in a bir kitchen to get the results. And the currys do look great well done!

best, Rich

Thanks for the comments guys.  Going to have a go at a Chicken Chasni this week.  Never had one before.  Interesting reading the various recipes here and learning something new every time.  Just twigged the significance of the first base reduction/oil content of different bases (i.e. Taz).  Reckon I have been under-cooking the spices.

Will definitely go easy on the naga next time.  I think it works well in a Jalfrezi and Chicken (Tikka) Naga Jalfrezi is quite a popular restaurant/TA dish in Birmingham.  Invariably described as a Chefs Specialty and very hot.  I'll try 2 tsps next time. No more.  I am still suffering after Saturday night!
