Topic: Curry Christmas

[Petrolhead360]

Hi all,

The other half is asking every 5 minutes what I would like for Christmas.

Any ideas from forum members as to what would be a good curry related Christmas gift.
Anything goes, just looking for inspiration.

Thanks for any comments.

Cheers, James

How about a cooking lesson from a near by restaurant?

[Micky Tikka]

 I would ask to hire a curry chef for the day
so he could tell us all those secrets
Best Christmas ever  ;D

The cooking lesson is a good idea.

I'm a gadget nut, and have had many such chopping products supposedly designed to magically transform your culinary life, and have yet to come across anything that beats this:

This one was good fun though (if a little noisy): http://imageshack.us/a/img515/6863/choppergrid.png

But you can't beat the original!

Sadly mine eventually lost its edge, and nothing yet tried has succeeded in re-instating it

It would have to be a tandoor...

Have you tried a Japanese water stone Phil?  After years of never being able to get my knives really sharp I found these to be excellent.  Naniwa are the ones I got, though I suspect they're all similar.

I use a combination of 1000 & 5000 grit, finished off with a strop on an old belt.  After this even my cheapo knives will shave hairs off the arm, I know I have a bald patch!

Hope that helps,

Paul
