Nice to see your Vindaloo glistening in the light SR, very tasty looking food here.

Looking good. Love a vindaloo; cider vinager and black pepper a must, never tried jaggery though...

What Pasananda recipe did you use, still a dish I've never cracked?

Thanks Fried! I agree on the black pepper and I think I will use vinegar in the future. I normally add a squirt of ketchup which has a bit of sweetness so that is the only reason I added the jaggery, it was just under half a teaspoon, after a quick taste it just needed a bit of balancing.
I don't know how authentic the passada I cook is, I've never eaten a restaurant passanda! The recipe I used was very similar to this  https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=14371.0 but I didn't use any masala sauce.or ground cloves.

All the best

Just realised, theres NO massive oil slick in your curries.

I used 2 tablespoons (measuring spoon) in the vindaloo and 1 tablespoon in the passanda. The vindaloo was very oily after I reduced the first ladle of base but it turned out just right for me. I do get the occasional oily curry but I tend to be conservative with the amount of oil that goes into my base and final curry.

All the best

Thanks CarpCarp! Yes and still some left for dinner tonight 

SoberRat, a nice old Fender (or a really nice shiny new one) will set you back a bit more than a mobile phone. 

It certainly will Livo  ;D I know it too well haha! A neighbor of mine had a 1966 fender strat that wasn't in the best of health and she sold it for 15 grand!

Lol me too

Thanks Naga. Off topic I know but below are the two most recent, but not that recent, reasons why I avoid guitar shops! Last is a rather rare guitar that I've had for 30 years.
Can any of you guitarists name them all?

Thats a PRS and the last one is driving me nuts because I should know it..

Is 3 a Kramer?

[SoberRat]

Yes the PRS was one of those guitars I had to get. They stopped making that model with the solid Brazillian Rosewood neck after that so I'm glad I did but paying for it hurt!
The last guitar is a Washburn EC29. The 29 frets was one of those 1980's ideas for shredders everywhere!

The first one looks like a strat but I don't think it is

I'm not a guitarist but my mate collects them and now has about 50 and thats where most of what i know about them comes from lol
