Yeah, I mean Adey's stuff is good (via CBM admittedly for me- never actualy been there), but surely not enough to make everyone give up for ever! You didn't find the Holy Grail, Haldi!!!

classic coffee in nostrils moment!!!

Cheers! Nice one.

They could take CA a bag of coconut flour

Great pic! and great colours, a bit of Monet in there eh

Cool, cheers! Why is that though? Rather than say a dhansak or dupiaza? Does it have the fewestt ingredients = less complex flavours all competing?

Wrap in tin foil + some liquid then low and slow

DO,

are you thinking of a "parcel" being better than foil over a roasting tin. i've seen this done in Greece but not tried at home (it was aimed at adding the whole finished dish to the parcel). i dont really see any benefit other than having to keep eye "feel" (tipping off level slightly) on the liquid level in the roasting tin.

low and slow for me is 140C for 4 to 5 hrs. is this low and long enough. i know smoking can be typ 16 hrs.

JM, you're right about the greek thing- think they do Kleftiko that way- although sometimes a brown paper parcel rather tham foil. Which is incidentally THE best way of re-heating kebabs or naans (w/ a drop of water) the next day

This is a great recipe- ironically doing it in the roasting pan! (So don't think it's a major difference.)

Yeah right about the liquid. And yes the temp & time!

I will give you some feedback CT,  I may well be making some of your recipes tomorrow for my 12 guests and as your recipes have been highly recommended to me I will be trying some,  your basic curry come rogan josh that you yourself recommended looks definately worth a try for tomorrows less heat liking guests. Wont be trying DO or SS madras though as cant find a link to them 

I sent everybody the link exept you and 'london'
