Topic: Balti Chicken Phal

[Kashmiri Bob]

Last night's spicy efforts.

Tandoori Chicken Wings (Starter)



Triple yellow sticker Tesco's Fire Pit wings.  I knew what to expect from these.  They are absolutely terrible.  Not really worth putting the oven on for.  However I made a few tweaks.  Fresh garlic/ginger paste, Shababs balti (Misty Ricardo) spoon-offs (excess oil and base; highly fragrant) and a dollop of Fudco chilli and garlic chutney.  Not too bad. 5/10.
     

Balti Chicken Phal (Main)

Nearly ready



Made from Shababs spoon-offs, 1 cs chilli powder (rounded), 1 dried Reaper chilli (finely chopped), 2 tsp salt (also rounded) and the juice of 1 mandarin easy-peeler.  Fresh chicken.


Re-heated



Very nice, hot and fruity!  A good 30 min burn.  Unfortunately, the chilli level de-baltified the dish, in terms of flavour.  4/10.

Back on the real-deal baltis next week.  Mick's and Misty's, side-by-side.
