AI Summary
The original poster shared a photo of their weekend dinner featuring Chicken Danzak, Chicken Jalfrezi, Chicken Vindaloo, garlic naan bread, rice, and saag aloo. They mentioned using recipes from the Under Cover curry book and noted that their girlfriend found the lentils in the Danzak too hard, despite soaking and cooking them for a long time. Community members suggested using a pressure cooker for better results with lentils or opting for tinned lentils as an alternative.

I used the Base in the Under Cover curry book and the recipies that are in there, Saag aloo was JB's, Nann breads were CA's

I have been cooking these for a couple of months now after much research on this web site.

Me and my girlfriend tucked into most of it, she said it was just like being in the local takeaway, however she did comment on the lentils being to hard in the Dansak, although I soaked them overnight and cooked the for ages they still seemed hard, any thoughts or ideas would be welcome

Hi Gazzaj,

If you cook lentils a lot a pressure cooker does the job really quickly and they don't cost too much to buy.

Cheers,

Paul
