Topic: three curries

[jb]

Had some spare time today so I thought I'd try out some new dishes.I cooked Punjabi massala,chicken tikka naga and naga massala.I'm really into naga chicken from my local takeaway at the moment,I've seen the jars of Mr.Naga on the kitchen shelves of quite a few places,although it's quite hard to source round here,I eventually brought some from Ebay.I know some people on here are not keen on it but I think it's lovely stuff.Anyway in order of cooking,punjabi massla,chicken tikka naga and naga massala....















All three were very nice indeed,definately restaurant/takeaway standard.The punjabi massala was lovely,not seen this dish here on any menus down south,it was like a tikka massla without the coconut or almond,very tasty with the tandoori flavours coming through.The chicken tikka naga was as good as any takeaway I get,actually better than some of the more blander ones I've had.

For me the best dish was the naga massala.I couldn't actually taste the Mr.Naga in it,it just had a really deep BIR flavour coming through. It suddenly dawned on me I've tasted a similar dish before.I realised it was just like the balti rezala my local place used to do(The usual chef's gone and the dish is not the same now).Their dish was described as a spicy hot curry with a special red sauce.Probobly nothing more than an spoonful of massala sauce which went into my dish.One of the best dishes I've cooked in a while.

They all look good jb and theres nowt wrong with Mr Naga imo. I do enjoy it in a cheese sandwich (as well as curry)

@ Gav Iscon -  Heathen you !!!   ;D

Good work jb.  You should have asked and i'd have dropped you round a couple of jars.  Readily available from the wholesalers at Dagenham 

Curries look good.  Any chance of a recipe or three ?   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Quality jb, all look and sound delicious. I do find that mr naga can be overpowering.
 I make my own now, tastier I think, and hotter  ;D
Any recipes to share?
