Topic: Garlic Chilli Chicken

[Aussie Mick]

Finally got round to cooking this up tonight. Very delicious was the verdict 

You're right CA, I actually bought a piece of leg lamb (bone in) for $8.99/kilo at our local IGA today. I put my none existant butchery skills to the test, and I got enough meat off it to  make 3 curries. The dog was very happy with the remains.

I cooked up a Saag gosht along with the Chill/garlic chicken and it too was very nice. Also did a Bhindi bhaji. it's been a while since I had one of these, and it too was highly enjoyable.

Like Aussie Mick, I finally got around to cooking this dish tonight. It was totally delicious - my lips are still tingling from the garlic and chilli!

I only used 4 bird's eye chillies as I wasn't too sure how hot the final dish would be. I also used Abdul Mohed's spice mix and base gravy together with 2 tbsps of the Zaal red masala sauce in with Blade's chicken tikka. I gave the food colouring a miss.

It was absolutely brilliant! Thanks to 976bar and to UB for the original recipe.

I got a swanky new phone, so I've at last got round to taking some photos, which I'll put in the relevent sections.

Presentation could be better but we were too hungry. Missus went corriander crazy.



I used turkey for the first time which was a bit of a disappointment, but that was my fault for not pre-cooking it enough.

All to spec except used normal red chillis, CT's base, Zaal GM, CA's mix.

That dish has a superb BIR look about it, in spite of heavy corainder garnish ;D.  I suspect it proved to be very tasty

This looks like it will have to be cooked!!!!

Can i ask your opinions, would it be OK to use non tikka chicken? And just cook it at the start as CA usually does in his recipes? Or is the tikka a key component?

Also i have some dried GHost chilli's that are very hot, would one be the same as the ones listed for this recipe?

Cheers guys cant wait

In one of yesterdays posts 976 bar referred to a "garlic chili chicken Masala", would this "garlic chili chicken" in this post be the recipe he was talking of?

Also just to confuse matters, Unclebucks garlic chili chicken was made from what i can see with Panpots  base of which I would like to make.
I got to page 3 of 26 and was wondering if anybody could point me to the final take on this as by the time I have read all the posts my head is spinning.
Was there an amendment to the first post here?

TT, use this base, i honestly cant beat it i go back to it every time [its scaled down version of ashoka recipe base]

1kg onions
3 tsp cumin powder
3 tsp salt
water to cover the onions
Add 35 gms of Tomato paste
35 gms of the Garlic/Ginger paste
1 tsp of Chili powder
1 tsp Curry powder
2 tsp Turmeric
50 gms block of Coconut block
80 gms Vegetable margarine
80 mls of oil

Place onions, cumin powder, salt in pot and cover with water and bring to the boil before simmering until onions are soft.
make sure the onions don't become dry keep your eye on the water.

Once soft add the remainder of ingredients then blitz with blender and continue to gently simmer for 1 hour

That's certainly a very prompt reply Unclebuck, and from the man himself!
Thanks very much for saving me a lot of time.
