Topic: tonight's jalfrezi

[goncalo]

I liked tonight's effort. Nothing was overpowering, a lot of flavor, not BIR, but wouldn't piss me off if I got this off of a takeaway (I think we should come up with an acronym for this.) I used instead of mix powder east end jalfrezi massala which I had lying around to see what it was like. I also got plenty of oil in this one too and I can't wait for my next curry which I know already what's going to be.

Things I did differently:

- Added sliced fresh garlic  and fried it until it started to brown
- Meat was precooked with 1/4 of tsp of kashmiri chili powder (c2g method all the way)
- In the dish, I only used 2 small chillies (not used to cook without adding chili powder). I learned 2 green chilies aren't enough heat and next time I should aim for 6+

Well done, that looks the jobby

Maybe if you like a garlic hit, also try adding a second batch of chopped/slices of garlic half way through the main cooking course, it makes for a v nice addition IMHO

Thanks Paul, I will indeed give those suggestions a try as I love a good amount of garlic, which I sadly missed this time. I'll report back over the weekend.
