Is there a recipe on the forum for the tarka that some RJs have?

Thanks Pete. Yes that was a trip down memory lane!  ;D

I imagined the topping would be something more elaborate than this to be honest, although I've never seen a Rogan Josh with any sort of tarka or topping to be honest.

Hi Santa,

I'd never seen an RJ topped with a tarka myself until very recently.  With that said, the tarka was what seemed to me, fried onions and garlic?

My understanding, and not with any definite certainty, is that an RJ is basically a curry, garnished with a curry?

Hi Ray

I can vaguely remember seeing a photo of a RJ with what looked like another curry on top, never seen anything like it before. Was it Panpot's?

Anyway, I'm probably going to be trying your recipe out at the end of the week if I can get some decent tomatoes.

Funnily enough, one of the Chef's I work with is from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), and has actually been learning BIR curries from me and he loves them. We have been getting to know each other and he has said that his mum has taught him how to make Sri Lankan Curries like she makes back home. He tells me that when they cook a curry it is in 2 stages, a bit like a (Proper) Rogan Josh, in that they boil/simmer the the first mixture, like onions/garlic/ginger/seeds etc etc, then they make a 2nd curry which is fried onions amongst other stuff, I cannot remember much of it as his English is limited, but he has promised to show me how a traditional Sri Lankan Curry is made which I cannot wait to learn

I am going to try and get this done this week, then will report back

He bought in some curry powder which smells amazing which he get's in Southall, I'll find out the name of this tomorrow and post a picture
