CA's chicken ceylon with chicken tikka
« on: October 12, 2011, 09:44 PM »
Had this for tea tonight.  Nice tasty medium curry, a hint of  sweetness with only a slight sour note from the lemon juice.  A coconut background flavour but certainly not over-powering like some coconut dishes can be.  For madras eaters who like coconut, one to try.  You won't be disappointed   ;D.  The colour of my dish has been darkened by the addition of the chicken tikka.

that looks great curryhell...im going to make ca base & one of his recipies  tomorrow for the first time. How do they compare to bir in general?....I am new to this so have  only tried a few bases so far & noticed ca's has no coconut which as a base flavour is something i dont normally taste in my usual takeouts apart from say Ashoka, which has really strong garlic/ginger coconut flavours.

Off topic: can anyone confirm onions / peppers / mushrooms are sometimes pre cooked in something sugary (Jaggery? is this even used in bir?)I had lightly cooked onions & peppers  in a Jaipuri last week which had been clearly cooked in something very sweet prior to being added
Thanks in advance

CA you are a star!!!!! Love this dish - it tasted too sweet to start but after the first mouth full of succulent chicken a WINNER! I added some shredded  coconut and some to garnish and i used pre-cooked chicken only because i was making other curries

Looking at that coconut shredder, I think that you could make one from an old round pastry cutter :D
Shouldn't be to hard at all
So get your hacksaw's out ???

CA you are a star!!!!!

Totally agree :D.  Bet you're glad you tried it Rich!  It's nice hear that the pics are appreciated which means they do the dish justice which it rightly deserves.  I love the fresh coconut garnish - class :P not to mention the tool used - not so classy but functional;D. Alan, it was after reading your post and seeing your pics on Mrs Mooneys birthday dinner that i  decided ceylon was the next one to try.  So you're partly responsible ;).  Does that mean you're going to give it a go solarsplace?  You too will not be disappointed.  Your bombay aloo will go very nicely with it :P.
