Topic: CR0 BBQ This Saturday!

Hi Chris,

That sounds like an excellent idea, maybe towards Xmas

I'd like AZ's number if possible please

[Secret Santa]

Az - Vindaloo - No vinegar, no lemon. Nothing. Just lots of chilli powder. In fact probably a generous 1/2 chef spoon of chilli powder. It is all in the frying of the chilli powder technique.

At last. A chef who knows how to cook a proper Vindaloo!  ;D

Good to meet you Az, natterjak & 976bar

Also some of my own garlic chilli & vindaloo sauces. Which people seemed to like. Although it turns out that my vindaloo is actually a spot on madras rather than a vindaloo in other peoples opinions 

If it's any help, I thought your vindaloo was somewhere between a madras and vindaloo in heat and in flavour was great.  Whether a vindaloo should have lemon added - I'll leave that to others!

He personally avoids Rajah spices due to excessive cost. Favouring TRS & East End as equally high quality but better value for money.

To expand on this I think Az mentioned that it was also due to Rajah not selling in large catering sized packs.

Anyway, goes to show, that there were no issues - as expected, no violations of privacy or confrontation - just a civilised and very enjoyable afternoon. Hopefully we can do this again with more members attending next time

Everyone was good as gold.  Didn't expect anything else of course but yourself, Chris, 976Bar, Az and all the various wives, partners, friends and kids were great company and I'm very happy I made the effort to attend.  The only mystery was why the takeup wasn't greater.
