The Weekends Curries!!
« on: October 21, 2013, 11:39 AM »
Been busy trying new recipes over the weekend. Most turned out very good (Saturday = first 3 photos, Sunday = last 2 photos, quality not so good for some reason).

First was a chicken nawabi from Cook4one site - very interesting recipe - includes crushed/ground cumin and fennel seeds. Give it a 8.5/10, into the favourites book.

Next up, daughters favourite korma (Georges/Ghanas recipe with a few of my own mods) - think I've got this spot on now. Daughter says better than any take away! 9/10.

Balti recipe from 100 Best Baltis Book -nice tasty curry. 8/10.

First time I've tried chewys madras - fantastic! Think I could have done with a little more base, but incredibly tasty for such few ingredients. Probably better than any take away madras I've had. 9/10. Into the favourites!

Finally Geezahs dhansak. This is the best dhansak recipe I've tried, although I did make some pre-cooked lentils to go into it, with onions/garlic/bay leaf/cinnamon/coriander which tasty really good on it's own (a pretty good dhal). 8.5/10. Into the favourites also.

Chicken Nawabi (Cook4One recipe) -


Chicken Korma (Georges/Ghana recipe) -


Sweet Potato and Mushroom Balti (100 Best Balti Recipes book) -


Chicken Madras (Chewy Tikkas) -


Potato Dhansak (Geezahs London Style Dhansak) -

Cracking effort, meggeth! Those dishes look delicious and would grace any table. Your right about Chewy's Madras and thanks for the reminder about the Cook4One website - I keep meaning to try some of the recipes.

Nice looking dishes meggeth  :)  You're right about CT's madras, every other curry I cook is a CT madras (don't forget the Worcestershire sauce)   ;)

Cheers,
Ken

Very nice spread, bud.

And you also had time to pimp the strat?

Superhuman effort, my friend :)
