Topic: CA's Chicken Ceylon

[George]

I hope to try this recipe soon but I can't help wondering if at least three of the glowing reviews posted in 2013 are genuine, or self-praise arranged by CA to promote his forum.

Users: lawness, DavidTR and davetrubleu have only one post each - all praising this recipe. If it was that good , why didn't they come back and try/comment on other recipes? I think it looks suspicious but apologies to them if they are genuine individuals with no link to CA.

I agree with SecretSanta. I've never found CA's recipes to be anything special.

I second that George, Ive tried a few of CA's recipes over the years and most are not that special, they are ok for beginners though

I gave some to my dog and the missus started to moan .I told her it was a CA recipe" that's ok then not hot or spicy" she said ;D

You remind me of another interesting angle. CA's forum seems to be going through all the same (early) ground, like this forum did in 2004-2005. You could almost think of it like primary school. We're now at something like the level of postgraduate research whilst CA plays a role a bit like a primary school headmaster, where they are bound to cover all the basic aspects, again. If Ofsted did a review, I think his "school" would be rated very low, not least due to the unusually high level of expulsions, and because "pupils" are not allowed free expression.

I am no particular fan of CA, but his Korma recipe is second to none.

Yes.....Korma is a BIR dish, look it up

Yes, but Korma is a /woman's/ BIR dish.  Oh, wait a minute, we are talking about one of CA's recipes -- that makes perfect sense, then.  (With apologies to George, who I know also likes Korma -- no offence intended, George, just a joke).

I"m no fan of CA either, but the Ceylon recipe is good. It's a pretty standard BIR recipe, base, G+G puree, mix powder. It's basically a Madras with some coconut milk powder. It'll be as good as your base/ mix/ and technique allow.

I would rather cook every recipe on this forum, before ever considering anything CA related

Well you are missing out Littlechild - with that sort of attitude, maybe CA's forum is the place for you
