Hi everyone,I haven't posted(or cooked anything!!) for some time.I always cook a xmas curry feast for the guys at work.here's a few pics for you to enjoy.
It was a bit of a mammoth task but it all went down very well.

I did about 10 mains,a dozen assorted naan breads, sides and a heap of rice.....

Good work JB.  Thats how it's done. What were the dishes?  Did you use your own base?

I used my original takeaway base(the one with the garlic tarka at the end), standard mix powder, a  high heat and not too much stirring when cooking.They were as good as any takeaway I know, better than some I have to say.

That is a pretty impressive selection, JB, and I am only sorry that I don't work where you do !  May I ask how long it took you to prepare and cook  that lot ?

Thank you, its all in the prep, that's the longest bit. It took me three whole mornings and then on the fourth I did the breads and rice.

Ps if anyone thinks naan breads can't be done without a tandoor or at home they're wrong... Maybe the best thing happy4chris left us before he disappeared was his naan bread recipe/method, follow that and you should get excellent, if not better breads than some of the soggy breads I sometimes get from my local places... Cheers JB
