Totally amazing and looks the part.
I can almost smell the Garlic.

Good effort.

as you say the garlic in at the start disappears into the dish (although i still think it's needed)

Hi Jerry

Well I got the garlic slices nice and browned/caramelised and the addition of the onions stopped the cooking so that they didn't burn, and although there was a very nice garlic background flavour it wasn't really intense and I was disappointed that they melt into the sauce.

Having just eaten a reheated portion it was clearly a little bit under-spiced even though I used the full 1TBSP of mix powder however, as stated, I used my own base which is lightly spiced so next time I'll have to up the mix powder quantity.

Your suggestions for added items would definitely improve the curry but, not having eaten this in a BIR, I'm not sure if they will take it closer to that goal or not.

If your after an extra kick of garlic, perhaps you could add more at the end of cooking, like a tarka?

Yes I know how to get more garlic flavour into a curry Axe, that's east to do. I was just commenting on the flavour when cooked as shown.

My apologies SS I wasn't suggesting that you didn't, I thought it might be helpful for others reading the topic, that might not.

Hi h4ppy-chris.

I cooked this curry tonight, but I used the C2G base, and Julian's mixed powder and fresh chicken pieces which made the cooking time longer, and it was delicious.
Next time, I'll use precooked chicken, also I'm going to try this dish using precooked lamb.

Thanks for the great vid and clear recipe guideline with it  ;D
