My monthly task was :- http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,6248.0.html

976 bar's bhuna, I've made this recipe before but not for a long time, in keeping with the spirit of the test I stuck to the recipe as much as possible.

It's been a long and stressful few weeks moving flat, but it's been worth it as I now have a proper kitchen. This was the first curry made in it and made with the first base. I chose to do a Zaal base for a change and disaster nearly struck when I tried to make the base and do my real work at the same time in order to finish the test by the end of the month, It caught a bit but I think I got to it in time.

The cooking went O.K but I felt a bit out of practice after a month without curry. Now, I have to say I didn't like the recipe to much, I've made it before without the fresh tomato which was excellent but the fresh tomato gave the recipe an um tomatoey taste, and I don't like fresh tomato. My missus loved it however and thought it was better than the Madras I made at the same time. I have more photos but I'm too frazzled to spent any more time trying to work on my computer.

Don't ever expect enyone to connect your internet in less than 3 months if you ever move to France




And I haven't finished the lighting in my kitchen, so the photos are a little strange in colour.

Fine effort especially considering the circumstances.

Cheers, my future seems to consist of shopping and D.I.Y until they put me in a box. I'm going to have to put my foot down to get some curry time.

. . .  Unless your name is David Harmon and you commentate for Eurosport on major cycle races, in which case you can get a bran(d)-new Internet connection from a different location each and every day !

Great reports lads.  Nearly there with my test, but will be on the last minute writing.  Made it last night in the TA, to the amusement of the head chef.  Can you guess what it is going to be?  Clue: heavy on the sliced garlic.





Botched it somewhat (the burners are bloomin

Well the colour looks fantastic. 

[Peripatetic Phil]

Well the colour looks fantastic. 

No, I like my crumpets darker than that ...  Oh the red, you mean ?  There I wholeheartedly concur !

[Secret Santa]

Those crumpets made me laugh!  ;D (I'm just going out for an English).

Now, what do you imagine they're using the golden syrup for? Peshwari naan coating perhaps?

Fantastic Bob, now all I got to do is convince the wife a Tandoor Oven is not just for Christmas, it's for crumpets too! ;D
