welcome back josh and it's good to see that you have felt your curries have progressed over the past year - they certainly look the part!

Very tasty looking food there JS and very BIR look alike.  Kind of pales into insignificance compared to that stove though  .  How I would so love to have that little baby in my kitchen :.  Green with envy.  What's the make?  Good to have you posting again by the way.

Hi All - thanks for the positive comments.

The stove is a Blue Star RNB 366. The main burners are 22,000 BTU, that I had a gas guy modify one to 25,000 BTU, or roughly 7.4 kWh.

First time I fired it up, I leaned over the burner and prompty removed my nostril hair 

Learning to cook with high heat didn't take that long. The madras in the photos was knocked up in less than 5 minutes. I used the step-by-step timing guide from Chewy's Zeera method as a guide.

I'm even more covetous now!

Just been looking at some commercial ranges online (god knows why - I can't get even gas where I live), and prices aren't as horrific as I imagined, with a 32,000btu 6-burner yours for 1200 quid.

They do them as LPG options too, but that would probably work out expensive to run.

One day... One day.... :

I wouldn't mind that natural gas tandoor! But I think if I added any more gear to the kitchen to support my curry habit, I'd be relegated to the shed!

Same here josh, just in the first stages of getting a brand new kitchen.
Got a few quotes and few designs so could be having a new kitchen in about 2 months.
