Hi Michael. My chef friend made a chicken pathia in my kitchen recently and there will be a vid of it shorty.  The pathia recipe itself is very similar to CBM's (Vol. 1) but with sugar instead of mango chutney. I tend to use more sugar, chilli powder and lemon, so the finished dish is pretty sweet, and sharp.  It turns out 100 % authentic to the pathias available hereabouts. I've tried things like pineapple and tamarind in the past and they just don't work for me.  The pathia paste addition is a G/G, asian bay, cassia, green cardamom bagar, with loads of tomato puree, lemon juice, and some red food colouring.  I'll check with the chef if it also includes sugar (hectic day in the kitchen and we may have missed this), but basically it seems to be sort of a "concentrated pathia" paste.  A little also goes in a jalfrezi, also to be shown in the vid.

Thanks Bob
I made this dish recently with the sugar and mango and was a bit sweet
so omitting the mango and a bit more chili makes sense

Just pre-cooking some Gressingham duck breasts.  Half price at Asda.  I'm thinking Duck madras or/and Duck dopiaza.

Not all BIR but I have a backlog of stuff to do.

Goat curry. The butcher's that sell this are all Tamil, they have no price lists, I need to find someone who knows a bit about goat to make sure I don't buy some rubbish.

The missus wants a fish masala after watching Rick Stein's 'taste of curry', just waiting for some half-price monkfish to turn up at Lidl.

I have some guests for a curry this weekend, I'm out of base sauce but I have a kilo and a half of lamb in the freezer.

I want to get some shami kebabs made soon too.

Too much to do, too little time..

Next two with be Adil's Balti tinda gosht, from 100 Best Balti Curries, and a Chicken madras as back-up.

Back after a short break from BIR.  Been surviving on trad dishes for a while.  Pakistani chicken niblet curries are quite amazing! But, it's back to BIR for now.  Think I'll start with Julian's Lamb naath, and a nice Ex-hot beef vindaloo, as back-up.
