Mikka,

this for me sums curry up. the one on the left i'd love to eat (less a bit of the oil). the one on the right looks traditional.

the left looks like madras. i think the meat is lamb though suggesting more like rogan josh.

the one on the right i have no idea (not seen anything like in a BIR).

On the left is a Vindaloo. The right a Sagwalla.

Neither were the best at all to be honest. It was later in the day from an Indian Banquette Hall. I think they changed the Chef later in the afternoon, it was very noticeable. The strands you see on the Sagwalla are extremely finely cut Ginger strips. They look almost machine cut to me?

I understand some images I posted are missing. I moved files around on my server this last weekend. I'll make sure that they get placed back where they were.
Apologies.

Hi Mikka

Thought the name sagwalla rang a bell, so did a bit of digging through some old books and came across this in 'Favourite Restaurant Curries' by Pat Chapman, published in 1988:-

"....'SAG WALA'    Spinach Curry

Sag means spinach and wala means cooked (it also means a tradesman, eg, punka wala). This dish is more commonly referred to as sag bhajee but this name is used by the JHORNA, 32c High Street, Orpington, Kent for their recipe for this dish....."

So, now we know, Sagwalla is simply another name for a saag bhagee or bargee or however you want to spell it.

Regards
CoR

The strands you see on the Sagwalla are extremely finely cut Ginger strips.


for a good while i used fine cut garlic instead of g/g paste. at the time it was the ginger that put me off until the ashoka pre cooking which sold me back onto the g/g paste.

last week though i did not make g/g paste in bulk as i normally do but needed some for CA's vindaloo. although i blended the g & g - the ginger did not blend as well (down to the small qty's).

the ginger tunred out effectively like very fine lumps. the taste came through in the vindaloo and was real nice for a change.

in short not strictly BIR but i think matchstick ginger is well worth trying out for a bit of a different slant.

Sa(a)g really means Vegetables. Palak is the Indian word for Spinach.
i.e Palak Paneer. Spinach and Cheese.
