Topic: Last night's feast

[jb]

I had my curry pans out again last night.It was for a family get together,I had a few requests to do some food as they knew I was a bit of a keen amateur curry chef.I don't think however they were prepared for the outcome,they thought it was just going to be one curry and some boiled rice!!

I did chicken tikka massala,chicken madras,tandoori chicken,balti pathia,special jalfrezi,sag bhaji,bombay aloo,sag aloo,pilau rice and balti chili naan.There was quite a few people so I did 2 portions each of the mains,3 portions of the sides and a big batch of rice.

Tandoori chicken


Chicken tikka massala


Balti pathia


Special Jalfrezi


Chicken madras


Pilau rice

These were the core recipes I used so a big thanks to these people;massala paste from the Zaal Restaurant,Blade's tikka,pre cooked potatoes/spiced oil from Ifind4u ,Pacman Pete's naan bread(from a VERY old thread),mix powder and base gravy from The Little India(courtesy Curry Barking Mad).

Results? Well it took absolutely ages to prepare but it was a complete success.My curry senses were well and truly blunted,however I went out and when I returned the house smelt like a genuine BIR kitchen.My guests were gobsmacked,even the the non curry eaters agreed it smelt divine.There were no magic ingredients but I was told by my guests it was as good,if not better than their usual take-away.I was chuffed to say the least.

What a feast. That really is an amazing spread and looks every bit as good, if not better, as many restaurants I've been too!

Could I ask which recipe you followed for the bombay potato? Thanks

[Peripatetic Phil]

Staggered beyond belief.  How one man can cook that many dishes to perfection I will never understand; I cooked Chicken Madras tonight (improvised recipe) and even that one dish left a lot to be desired.  Jolly well done, JB !

[chewytikka]

Very well done
All looks the dogs doodas'

They look like really good Naans, without the Balti overkill.
You'll be making Naanwiches next JB

cheers Chewy

Gorgeous looking food there JB, you should be rightly proud of the results of your hard work do you mind pointing me towards the recipe for the Balti Pathia? I fancy having a crack at that

[Naga]

Superb effort, JB! What a feast! Like natterjack, I like the sound of the Balti Pathia, but it all looks great.
