I have in the past tried making chap's with the aid of a few youtube vids but not with much success.
I must say Chris, aside from not having the Kenwood I think even I could acheive reasonable results following your method.
I am just returning to work after a while out and once i get this bl*#dy month in hand business out of the way I have plenty to be trying out and this is definately on the list.
A very enjoyable video.
                                      Cheers!

Why did you have to go outside to read the packet? 

Same here, I thought Phil was just making the most of the latest beautiful weather we've been having before the
Bank Holiday rain sets in?

Barbaric!
Heinz Spaghetti Hoops seem to have been tampered with over the years also, I'm sure they used to have a small amount of cheese content!

Just brought my first jar of the famous/infamous Mr Naga today, I have yet to decide how to put it to it's best use but it gets plenty of thumbs up on here so I'll work it out.

In the mean time I also came across this bottle of mango chili sauce, I don't know if anyone is familiar with it but it packs a lovely punch.
I will add a bit to the next Madras I will make...

Greetings Harry,
I've not been here too long myself but let me tell you mate... This site is as addictive as a Madras! ;D

Homestyle Ginger and pepper chicken.
Chicken on the bone was all I had in the freezer, turned out quite tasty really.
For the amount I cooked it looks like I've got it for the next few days also. ;D

Thanks for the advice lads,
One thing I did regret at the time was instead of stiring the rice when It was added to the oil I gave it a mega stir when I added the 2 litre of water.
No problems, at least I live where things are cheap and cheerfull and readily available.
I am content with my two versions of P/C rice but am more than happy to try other recipes, thats why I'm on this forum.

I think I will have a go at the microwave method at some point but seeing I'm cooking for myself most of the time I really have no need to cook on mass. I had an afternoon at a barbecue yesterday and was in lager lout mode.

As for getting over to See Woo, as yet my other half has got her claws into me to decorate her flat so up untill thats acheived it's on hold. I know where it is as I used to use a Halfords over there , just on a 108 through the Blackwall tunnel.
Anyway, enough of my ramblings, at this very minute I have c2g homestyle ginger chicken on the go.
Another Ruby Murrey Sunday!

I used Badshah Basmati rice, this was also an experiment to see if this ex halogen oven bowl could be used as a casserole dish, I half expected it to crack.
Belive you me I am no cook by any means so it is great that I can accomplish a curry on here but for things that take a bit more finesse.
As for my cooker, it was given to me. The numbers are still on the dial but I have to guess how far to turn it as the stop mark has disappeared.
Of all the possibilities I do believe it was the above heat setting that I had wrong.
Never mind, without a doubt your rice looks fantastic in those pics and your step by step couldn't be any better.
Unfortunately it is just my amateur approach.

My final take on this is that it didn't work for me.
I don't know where I went wrong, I went for gas mark 4 of which I understand is 175c.
Infact I only have real success when P/C rice.
Never mind, a new casserole dish may be the way forward!

Well I've given it twenty minutes now as at the 15 mark there was still a surplus of water.
I used my makeshift lid so maybe this should have been done with no lid?
Just added the colour, red is all I have, so now is the two hour wait.
