Those jalfrezsis are to die for!  This confirms my suspicions that CH (and CA) are, in fact, both Michelin star chefs, incognito.

 ;D ;D speaking for myself only mate, I wish i was.  I'm a "monkey see, monkey do" kind of chef.  With time you'll understand my remark

I bet your bedroom smells great in the morning   

We'll take your word for it, CH - honest!

Great report and superb photos, Rich! The combination of chicken and cheese (for me at least!) is a bit unusual, but your descriptions and the photos give the lie to that notion - your BBQ'd chicken looks absolutely delicious!

I must have a go at this. I'd be interested in your recipes for lemon rice and coriander green chilli dip too if you have them to hand.

A big thanks to Rich and Bob for two well produced reports! and submitted in time, well done!!  ;D

On the subject of my two offerings, I was glad to see that Mick has reduced the Tamarind in the Bengali Mirchi recipe in his latest video. 

quote from DalPuri

Overall, i really liked the dish but thought it was way too sweet. No problem when its piping hot, but as soon as it cools it gets sweeter and sweeter.
A really good curry for me has to be equally as good cold for those little mouthfuls you cant resist going back to when you get your second wind     
Just had a couple of mouthfuls of the Bengali Mirchi and its almost there with 2 spoons of tamarina.
Either 1 tbsp or slightly rounded would be perfect. 
 

2 level tbsp was spot on in my opinion. The dish was equally as good cold as it was piping hot.
BUT..... for a dish with Mirchi in the title, where was the chilli!!??

Besides the chilli powder added at the start the Bengali refers to the Bengali sauce Mick used, which is a mix of naga and tamarind, or I have I misunderstood you?

Ok, my mistake. So he's mixed it with tamarind sauce now eh?  . Cant see many seeds in there and only a fraction of chilli powder compared to the original recipe.
I think i'll stick with the original because that had a good amount of heat for me.

And being called chilli chicken i expect it to be HOT!
