Preema red Phil.  Loads of it. Also, a couple of drops of Sarson's Browning in the stock cubes, to facilitate a deeper (maroon) colour.  Defrosted and had some of this last night.  Fabulous!  Excuse the somewhat anaemic peas.

I am starting to think you are just jealous because my boiled rice is longer than your boiled rice  :smiling eyes:

I tried to call Moike but he must have changed his number.  A Balti pathia is the one to make though. Oh my word.  Top notch!

Anaemic peas I can forgive. Chips with Indian curry though I cannot! 😂

Used up some leftovers last night.  Had enough for a combo supper.  Balti chicken pathia and Balti chicken supreme.  The latter is not dissimilar to a Ceylon.  Not a crinkle cut in sight.  Instead, a small piece of ready-made aloo paratha. I will be doing more chips though.  Reckon crinkle are much better than straight.  They are usually more crispy and hold the gravy nicely.  Overall, far more sophisticated.  Fine dining, in fact.

Did another two baltis last night.  Balti chicken & mushroom madras.  Balti chicken royale. Decided royale is a better name than supreme, I am ot sure why, but chicken supreme somehow reminded me of a boil-in-the-bag curry. Odd.  Anyway, the re-heats are on the way.

I made #3 of Rik’s vindaloo last night. This experiment used stripped rotisserie chicken instead of raw and was nowhere near as good.  Still a decent curry though.
Next experiment marinating chicken in the vindaloo paste then cooking final dish.
This morning I made keema pav/ pau from the Dishoom book and with a Herculean show of restraint, didn’t polish it off but stuck in fridge overnight to make keema puffs tomorrow.
Indian ground lamb pasties in puff pastry - delicious.
Pics to follow.
