Topic: Your next two BIR curries?

There's nowhere to hide. A bit like how top restaurants ask new chefs to cook an omelette to test their skills.

I agree.  Though if it /is/ a disaster, adding a large amount of chopped coriander stalk can do miracles in masking the worst aspects (adding to a bad Chicken Madras, that is, not to an omelette !).

A tsp of mango chutney works well too

I use Burmese lime pickle (Chinthe brand).  No matter how dire the curry, a half a sour pickled lime can lift it a very long way ...

Actually - it is getting boring here. I think it was Chris who said there were a lot of people who talk a good game but haven't a clue how to cook a curry.

As the Meerkat would say 'Simples'

Curry night tonight!  Thinking of putting the Curried Away Chicken phal though it's paces.  See how it shapes up against a Chicken naga viper.  My money's on the Viper.

Tomorrow's Friday so I'll be pulling the stops out.  Here's the plan.  Shami kebab starter.  Think I've already got this one nailed.  A cross between a kushi kebab and an Abdul's (Manchester) shami.  Main course will be a Shikar ka vindaloo (pork in vinegar).  Served with roast spuds. Can't go wrong.

Think I've got another flu coming on. Garlic chilli chicken achari and Ex-hot chicken naga viper (anti-virus strength).  No problem!

Those immediately on the radar in no specific order are CBM's Chicken masala naga and king prawn chili masala, a chicken or lamb shatkora recipe, CT's achari with  chicken or lamb followed by the Viceroy's tandoori king prawn and possibly their king prawn butterflyas well.  This isn't to say that these will not be interspersed with a nice madras, my latest naga phall creation with fresh naga, my Elaichi NIS and possibly a  meethi chicken  ;D ;D.  These should keep me going for  a couple of weeks at least.  Plus i've still got the Little india base to try yet  :

Plans for tomorrow are Chicken pathia and a Shikar chasnidargh (sweet and sour pork). Saffron rice with both.  The pathia is a doddle, but the shikar will need some effort.
