One from a couple of days ago.

Beef and mushroom vinders

Beef and mushroom vindaloo

Essentially CA's vindaloo recipe, made with c2go indian base and pre-cooked beef.  I slid in a couple of sliced fried white mushrooms towards the end of cooking.

Warmed up in the oven.  Very nice vinders indeed.  I wonder does the recipe really need 75 ml of oil?  I might use less next time.  There again, I might not. Also, why is my portion size not bigger?  Must check the volume of these trays.

Look's awesome mate,  i usually use about one chef's spoon of oil, not sure how many ml that would be.
But look great anyway.

Rob, That looks yum mate. Don't cut back on the oil, that oil is gold. spoon it off in to a jar and put it in your fridge, add 1/2 chefs spoon to your next curry (any curry) When you heat the 2 oils instant BIR smell  ;)

Chef spoon 'normally' around 30ml  = 2 x tbs ?

Nice idea also Chris using a splash of salvaged tasty goodness to start the next meal.

They look like a little over 600 ml TA containers to me so you portion may not be that well out based on a portion being roughly 300 ml base but well reduced plus meat and any other solids. I may of course be off the mark.  ;)
