Topic: Lamb Lal Toffan

Nowt wrong with the foil cartons. I actually use them for the exact purpose you stated. And moi pretentious? Too right I am, its the only way.  ;D

Apparently Lamb Lal Toffan ranges from medium hot to scorcher class, depending on where you get it from.  Can't find much about it ingredient wise. There is also a Lal Toffan beer.  Spill the beans Garp.

No beans to spill at the moment, Rob. Just trying to replicate said dish from local TA.

This one was closer than the last using blended tomatoes, finely chopped onions and green chillies, a few ladles of base, salt, tandoori masala, methi, coriander, mango chutney and a pinch of sugar.

It was really nice, and, if you're interested, I'll post details when I can.

There is also a Lal Toffan beer.

And a very good beer if you can find it  . 

Nice looking curry there Garp.  Is that a little liquid seepage from the base i detect around the edges? A common trait exhibited by many a modern BIR/TA, unlike the old days where it would have sat in a puddle of oil 

Never heard of the dish but then again I'd never heard of north indian special till it was suggested to me in my local  :

Very satisfying when your close to creating a favourite dish from your local    Look forward to the recipe being posted when you think you've nailed it mate 

[Garp]

Sorry CH, I didn't see your reply.

You're absolutely spot on as usual, mate, a bit of seepage around the edge. I just made the base that morning, so not sure if that had anything to do with it. I did add a little water towards the end and maybe didn't reduce it enough.

We live and learn

Decided to treat myself to the old Lamb Lal Toffan from TA tonight, to remind myself what I'm aiming for....I have further to go than I thought



Copious little garlic pieces and some coriander stalks?

Very very nice

[Madrasandy]

Looks very tasty Garp, even in its pretentious foil carton 
How hot is this dish?
Are you any where nearer to re-creating it?, looking forward to a recipe

[Secret Santa]

It looks incredibly thick. And what are those white lentil type things?

[Garp]

Andy - for me it's pretty hot...for you, probably medium.

SS - bits of garlic, I think.

Next time will add some roughly chopped garlic, a few coriander stalks and thicken it up a bit. But that could be a month away....I work slowly

[curryhell]

And what's wrong with it being thick? Certainly right up my street texture wise  Heat i can adjust to my liking    Come on Garp, crack on son  ;D
