I'm going to do another one tonight as the last was delicious 

Here's my last effort...

Great picture - looks absolutely delicious.

Your recipe is similar to mine, but I'm missing just one thing. Ghee!! Where is the Ghee? I don't use oil because Ghee adds so much flavor. Ghee also doesn't burn on very high heat. Is there a particular reason for not using Ghee.

[Wickerman]

Looks wonderful,mak.
I could just go that for breakfast

Bit of a knob question this,
but what is the difference between "Curry Powder" and "Curry Masala"? ( Phil and CA earlier in the thread where talking about)

Hi Temesta and welcome to the forum 

I generally don't specify ghee because, as far as I'm aware, common-all-garden BIRs generally use common-all-garden vegetable oil for most of their cooking.

There is nothing to say that you shouldn't use it though (if that's what you prefer to use).

what is the difference between "Curry Powder" and "Curry Masala"?

Absolutely nothing HS.  I'm just using the term "curry masala" to mean "home made" masala (a.k.a. "spice mix", "mix powder", etc) and the term "curry powder" to mean a commercially bought masala.

Some BIRs add commercial curry powder to their "spice mix"/"mix powder".  I don't.  I've chosen to add it separately to the main dish. 

However, having said that, my personal inclination is to do away with using commercially produced curry powder altogether.  But BIRs do use it.....

Hope that makes sense!  And sorry for the confusion!

Thanks CA
Yes, that makes sence, maybe i was reading it wrong
