Topic: Curry Christmas

[Kashmiri Bob]

Hope everyone got some curry-related presents? I got socks. So popped over to sparkhill the other day to treat myself.  Really pleased with the sparkly 10 inch pan.  Also bought the thick-walled stock pan in the pic for heating gravy up. The pans cost 14.99 each.  Pretty reasonable I thought.






Vented lid of the stock pot fits the frying pan a treat.  Just need to find a little bung/grommet for the hole; a versatile arrangement.




Also got one of these chopper thingies to see if any good for slicing garlic.





Works well.  Very thin slices (saag bhaji time).  Found it best to hold the garlic clove by the tough woody end, done in no time.




First go with the new pan.  CAs vindaloo done as the sauce.  Popped a few pieces of pre-cooked chicken in.  Lovely!  Fresh coriander this time, but not chopped up properly. The vinegar works well.  Looking forward to doing it again.  On reflection, a bit of potato in there to finish off would have been very nice.

Nice bit of kit there  Rob.  I'm sure you'll make good use of it all.  I notice the absence of sliced finger in with the garlic   Give it time, i'm sure you'll manage it  : ;D  Nice pot of vindy sauce there with good oil separation.  I'm now toying with the idea of having NIS leftovers for lunch.  I was absolutely fine till i see your pic  ;D
Is that pot of kebab paste big enough.  Is it normally labelled up as "madras" kebab paste?

Got the paste after reading one of CTs posts.  I think it was this paste anyway.  Dont think it is available in a smaller size.  Not sure.  Getting some good results. There is quite a lot though.  The jar with probably outlast my new pan.
