Hi All

Had the day off so got an early start on dinner got the chicken tikka in the fridge marinating by half 8 then moved onto making the sauces one of my current favorites is a achari ghost i usually have lamb but didn't have any so it was chicken tikka which works well the recipe is a variation of chewy's i like to use pickled mango and pickled jalapeno peppers in mine gives it a nice meaty taste which is why i usually go with lamb, blades chicken gives a strong tikka flavour which works well. I also made a chicken tikka pathia and mushroom fried rice and fried off some poppadoms.

Hi Ramirez

The achari recipes is chewytikka's which can be found in the video section don't think there is a recipe anywhere else for it i just changed the type of pickle to suit my own tastes the pathia is just a standard out of the recipe thread.

1tsp g/g paste
pre fried onion and pepper
1tsp mix powder
1tsp deggi mirch
1tsp methi leave
1/2tsp amchor powder

It's looking good,I can't get another curry tonight(so the wife said) but that's really got me in the mood!!

A lovely selection of curry porn Jamie.  They're two mighty fine looking curries there mate.  I must give both a go having tried neither of them yet :.  I have been meaning to try the achari with some Mr Naga since i watched CT's vid.  The pathia has been on the radar for a while now.  All in good time as i seem to be on a madras mission at the moment and i've got to say the stuff is growing on me as well as raising a few questions ;D.  Trying to resist the urge to cook but i suppose i could always dial the magic number

Thanks for the comments. CH i have found a use for the tamarini i got for the NIS in the pathia to use for the sourness there is a recipe cant remember off my head whos it is that uses tamarind desolved with coconut that gave me the idea tamarina works well for me as missus doesn't  like the coconut tatse she sometimes gets when we eat out depending on the chef thats on.

There does seem to be a tendancy for some restaurants to include coconut in dishes when you wouldn't expect to find it.  I wouldn't expect to find it in pathia nor dhansak but the last couple of times i've dined out with a friend and tried their dish, coconut has been present in both   I can easily believe the Tamarina works well for adding a tasty savoury sour note to the dish.  It certainly works well in the North Indian Special.  Can't make my mind up whether i prefer the Tamarina or the East End Imli sauce though :

Hi CH

Not tried the Imli sauce yet is it a bit milder than tamarini as been as it has less tamarind in it ?
