NYE First Go
« on: January 04, 2011, 12:26 PM »
Made my first foray into curry making on new years eve.

Jumped in a little at the deep end and made 3 curries, too many for my first time to be honest.

I'd like to note whos recipe I worked from but because i'm a lazy cook and didn't buy all the right ingredients they had all been changed slightly anyway.

UB's Garlic Chili Chicken, CA's Korma and Makhani (Butter Chicken) from google posted https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5323.msg52032#msg52032. Also made blades chicken tikka without the food colouring.

Earlier in the day i'd made a pot of CA's base sauce.

All turned out edible if I do say so myself and no complaints from the diners.

That looks fantastic - good effort!

3 curries was brave. You're worktop/cooker top looks surprisingly clean. When I've done a base and cooked a curry there is curry everywhere.  ;D

If you could see just out of shot you wouldn't be so impressed. It was carnage!

Hi mdex same here never cook just one curry.
Those curries look wondeful, with the rice add 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds then boil has normal just adds a little bit of flavour (if you want that is).
