To put no finer point on it - they all look sodding delicious! great work

That's disgusting. The use of that word strikes me as the opposite of 'fine points' or anything delicious. You should perhaps check the meaning of words before you use them.

Very eager to see the pics from SS and Chris' curry marathon!

Post them!  ;D

Yes it was great fun and Rachel eventually managed to get the range clean

The house still has a lovely aroma of curry but apparently despite 2 baths my pores are still stinking! That garlic chilli massala (Micks video) was very nice indeed, probably the nicest sauce I have cooked. Browning the garlic so much really makes a difference.

SP and Chris,

I think what the pair of you have done is nothing short of amazing.  Results apart, you two will undoubtedly get the most from this test because of your collaboration.  As Chris pointed out, just watching someone else's cooking style is worth it's weight in gold from a learning perspective.

Great work lads, well done.

Sp and Chris,
Well done both of you,
Some bloody good work done

This may have already been spoken about, but is there a reason why the recipe from the OP for the Undercover Curry Bombay is not the same as the book?

I did ask Chris that, but I think he may have missed my message.  What he has done is to take the Aloo Sag recipe from page 74, removed the Sag, and adjust the spices accordingly, rather than use the Bombay Aloo recipe from page 64.  I suspect (but can't be sure) that he simply failed to spot the Bombay Aloo recipe.

Cheers Phil.

I suppose if everyone has made the recipe as per the OP, then all should be fine. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of working from the book last night, but I can simply make it again using the recipe from the OP.  ;D

That reminds me, any chance of posting the photo's Chris?

I shall be doing the test this weekend so would like to know which receipe to refer to. I feel we should be following the the correct recipe, otherwise our results will be misleading. In which case we should probably omit the recipe from the results?
