Not quite as obvious compared to what I have seen at the TP itself. But the technique is also in use here.

Also nice to see a single portion clay pot biryani again. This time with regular bottled rose water.

Have made this one before and thought had gone over how to do it; maybe not, am getting forgetful these days. So it’s Mick’s balti base, 2 tsp chilli powder option, salt to taste. For the balti, 20 g root ginger. Finely chopped/julienned, 50/50. The chopped ginger goes in at the start (with the garlic). Most of the juliennes go in half way through cooking, along with 2 tsp (or more) of ground ginger powder. A pinch of GM/ground ginger to finish. The remaining juliennes are for garnish. The amount of ginger additions (and salt) can be adjusted according to taste. That’s it. So not much to do really. If, as I have done in the past, also grated in some lime zest towards the end of cooking, it would result in a Balti chicken (ginger & lime).

Should add, I did read somewhere that the sequential addition of chopped and julienned is important, when the aim is to emphasise notes of ginger in a curry. So I am not just making it up as I go along.

Chicken curry. Rik’s baked onion base paste (I added several cloves of garlic and some green pepper this time). With saag bhaji and rice. Had some chicken wings that needed using so made a Chicken fry. The wood fork is for added Birmingham street food cred. All good.

Incidentally, was looking over the Tilted Pan’s menu online the other day and noticed something I missed before. So in the Balti section it clearly states “serves two”. I have never seen this before anywhere else for what is, or usually is, a standard BIR TA curry portion. Fits with their 2 rotis or 2 naans free offer with each curry. Also in line with my homemade smaller portions being more than adequate for me.

That's got my juices flowing for my leftover Chicken Bollywood Blast.  Saag looks good Rob.  Any recipe for it?
