Very nice-looking spread, jb, and mega-curry porn! Judging by the photos, I can tell it would have been delicious! Makes me hungry just to look at it!

Great to see you active Jb and that's one tasty looking feast.

A lot of work and standing around has gone into that meal! I know the feeling, well done JB!

Sometimes though when I see these big feasts, I'm reminded of a certain Monty Python sketch..

I don't think I could manage a waffer-thin mint after that spread!

Thanks guys,the whole thing actually took me a couple of days to get together,but it was well worth it.It certainly had the taste and the smell of genuine BIR food.Actually it was probably better than some of the medicore bland tasting stuff I often get these days.

I was specifically asked to do some milder dishes,hence the korma and chasni.I've never actually cooked a korma,the last one I ate was many years ago.Kind of made it up but it tasted pretty good,my young guest said it was the best she'd had in ages.The chasni was also suprisingly good,very tasty;a bit like the punjabi massala recipe on the forum.

All in all,everything went as planned,a lot of effort but a great success.
