Chicken Bengali Mirch
« on: June 19, 2013, 10:07 AM »
First go at CBM's recipe from British Indian Restaurant Style Cooking Vol. 2.

Nearly ready.  For the tamarind sauce went with the mighty Naga Raja pickle:





Looking very tasty:




Got this yesterday from Sainsbury's, half price. 





The instructions reckon you should take the red ones off and more will grow.  Pinched a few and took them to my local TA:





Chicken Bengali Mirch served with red/green chilli, garlic, and coriander naan. Re-heated in the oven.  Apols for fuzzy photo. Auto-focus liked the naan best.





Very delicious.  Would be happy to pay 10 sheets for this at a restaurant, including the naan. Possibly a bit more lemon juice next time, or even a splosh of white vinegar for even more zing. Thanks Mick!  Excellent recipe.

Superb looking meal there Rob.  If it tastes half as good as it looks it'll equal to and better than many a TA.  Naan is first class.  Home made ?  ::)

Thanks Goncalo.  The forum link recipe looks very interesting.  Adey's pathia recipe looks a lot like a chicken tikka madras to me, with sugar.  I think this must reflect regional differences.  A pathia (for me) has more going on than a squirt of lemon juice for the sourness, and the dish should also be an unmistakable deep red colour.

You should lighten up a bit with that food colouring Rob, you'll be showing us a red Korma before too long.  :P

Once upon a time there was only one red curry on a menu....CTM   ;)
