Topic: Ex hot beef vindaloo

[Kashmiri Bob]

Just a few chunks of pre-cooked beef left, so padded this one out with some thick-cut fresh mushrooms. 





Cooked until pretty dry. A tiny sprinkle of Jalpur GM added late on. Ended up with a nice little portion





Served with some leftover bits of a garlic/chilli/coriander naan from my local TA





Hoping to get a chicken tikka shashlik right next week, which so far has proving bloomin' tricky.  After that it's back onto the elusive BIR balti taste.

That look incendiary Rob - great looking curry there!

[Naga]

Stephen's spot on! That curry looks fantastic - but, then again, I haven't seen you make a bad one yet!

I like the red chilli staring from under the beef! I would love to try one this, for sure.

Keep it up Rob.

As per usual it looks great. I made Vindaloo last night again although I can't have it full flame but its still becoming one of my favourites. Looking forward to your Shashlik.

Cheers, getting some good results lately.  I'll post a few more efforts and then take a break.  Fresh red chilli seem non-existent in the Asian shops local to me at the moment.  All descriptions of green chilli, naga at various stages of ripeness, scotch bonnets a plenty, but not a single red chilli.  Had to splash out at Tesco.  90 p for not very many; grown in Kenya.

Hi Rob

Next time you see the red ones very cheap, buy a pound of them and just pop the whole bag straight into the freezer, do not wash first or all will stick.
Use directly from freezer as needed, they defrost almost as soon as removed, no need to wash as hot oil kills all nasties.

Thanks Paul. Will do, great tip.  I haven't froze chilli before.

I agree that this looks very good. Not sure about the raw chilli poking out though. My rear end would prefer these buggers cooked.
