Topic: Chicken Chasni BIR Style (based on recipe by bickerton)

I'm going to give this a bash at some point.  Although the Chasni's i've had from takeaways have always been red in colour.

Have never heard of a red Chasni - what part of UK have you got these from logie?

sounds and looks very nice - will add it to ever growing list of must try!

Reminds me of a curry I made up one afternoon for some curry-phobic Polish friends - sort of a mild CTM with the addition of 1 tsp aubergine pickle.  The flavours worked really well together.

I always liken a Chasni to a cross between a CTM and a Pathia and this recipe has the tomato and cream from the CTM and the sweet and sour (mango chutney, lemon juice) of the Pathia so I reckon it should probably be pretty close not to mention tasty!!!

I'm from Airdrie, just outside Glasgow.

I thought the red colour of the curry was pretty standard given that it is laced with tomato based ingredients.
