Topic: Your next two BIR curries?

[Stephen Lindsay]

Yup guys you are right, the George I was referring to is not the George who is a member here. My friend George would definitely not take kindly to being offered a Korma, even though I think mine's are perfectly acceptable. Madras all the way, nothing if not predictable. But a good staple to enjoy.

I've got two curries in the freezer, left-overs from my last cook curry night. I have a Chicken Hariyali and a Lamb Pasanda, neither of which I'm very happy with. The Hariyali was made without chilli for some of the non-spicy eating guests and needs a pep-up. The other was a pasanda I made using Chewy's recipe, not sure if I overdid the ghee or something else, but it's a bit sickly, nice enough but I don't fancy eating it on its own.

Reckon my next 2 efforts will be a:

Chicken tikka masala and a spicy chicken tikka masala.  I'm going to dispense with the usual masala sauces, to see how the dishes turn out.  Hopefully they'll still be orange.

Think I'm going to go for a Madras. Since finding this forum, its one I haven't tried yet. Looks reasonably straightforward though.

Will probably use chewy's recipe - that way, if I mess it up, I can blame him

Think I'll have those egg fried chapattis with it and maybe a wee veg side dish.

The mind boggles.  How long will it take you to prepare that feast, Stephen ?

Sorry Stephen but you are eliminated for going over the two-curry threshold.

Whereabouts in Edinburgh so I can get the scraps

[Naga]

Brilliant, Stephen! I wish I could be there! Instead, I'll be finishing off a fencing job at my daughter's...

I can't match that effort, but I can say with some certainty that one of my next curries will be loveitspicy's Chicken Chasni which is a real favourite for my good lady. And I'll be making the long-awaited Methi Chicken, now that my home grown fenugreek has reached a reasonable size.

Chewy's recipe is excellent and although a Madras is simple I reckon your cooking skills have to be on tip top form to get the best out of it. My best Madras ever was the best curry I've ever cooked, but using the same recipe I've also completely missed....The missus swore I'd forgotten to put something in.

[Garp]

Thanks my friend. But I would say that the cooking skills involved are minimal compared to many more intricate dishes.

But I'll find out soon
