[DalPuri]

Actually,,, now i think about it, there is a week in between anyway to gather participants. 

So,, Lets start the 3rd from today. That will give the final 2 recipes a good chance to be cooked off and reviewed. 

Not sure about the numbers for this though, but you never know.   

Just say im in, in the new thread.

CT chose his Rezala recipe, i have another recipe for this dish and thought i would try Chewy Tikkas, the other recipe has 1.5 green chillies sliced, 6 slithers green pepper, 1 garlic clove finely chopped and No black pepper.

I must say that i did enjoy this dish with its creamy texture and that heat, which comes from the black pepper, the addition of tomatoes is also a nice giving a slightly tangy heat. I would make again but using the additions above, just a regional thing that's all.
So i would urge people to try this dish, i think you will all enjoy it.

Sorry about the short review, but to be honest every dish that i have cooked from Chewy Tikka has always been great and in some cases exceptional so really i wasn't expecting anything else but a great tasting dish Thanks.

[chewytikka]

Looking good joadt
Glad you enjoy this Rezala.

I bought a bag of frozen Methi leaf, in with the shopping at ASDA
and was planning a Methi Murgh later, but after seeing yours it may be a Rezala instead.

curry on...
cheers Chewy

Great looking curry Joadt!

Thank you! It's got great flavour and the pepper is a nice touch. Wish I could remember how to turn the flash off on my camera as it tends to wash a lot of the colour out of the finished curry. Need to clean that bloody cooker too!

976 Bar's Garlic Chillli Chicken.










Thank you Bengali Bob for choosing this recipe for me.  I think the secret of this dish was ths slow cooking of the sliced garlic before the main ingredients went in, this took me three weeks .  Seriously, the garlic was slow cooked and not browned which I have not done before and considering the ingredients there is nothing special going in it was a great flavour, I tend to mess around with my curries adding a bit of pickle or this and that but I kept to the recipe and even my wife said it was a good curry.

Also thanks to Frank for the tests sorry for the delay but I blame the garlic.

Cheers All.
