My monthly task was :-
http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,6248.0.html976 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.
