Is it gas or do you have to fire it up with charcoal etc?
And can you leave it outside?
Really thinking about getting one but unsure if its worth it as i already have a BBQ and get really good results on that.

It is gas, it could live outside if kept under cover I suppose but I keep it in the curry shed.
I have to use it outside the shed as I have no extraction in the shed.
Having built my own clay/charcoal tandoor, I prefer the ease and cleanliness of the gas tandoor.
I wouldn't disagree with you about getting good results on the BBQ but this takes things to another level. The naan breads are really good.

Mick is there any chance you could put a couple more pics on mate - including the gas connection area as well - sorry to be a pian mate but i would like a look if poss

Hi Ram,

Many thanks for giving this one a try mate, and sooooo glad that that you enjoyed it.

Just a question, how much red food colouring did you use :o :o :o ;D

I am actually trying to phase it out and replace with something else such as paprika or kashmiri chilli powder but I don't want to alter the taste, so still a little work needed there on my part.

Many thanks again mate,

Ray :)

Hi Razor,

Try this Beetroot Powder as a natural red colouring agent for your curries :)

Razor i can second Bob's recommendation - it turn everything red depending how much you use and it aint that sweet

That dish does look really great LIS. Thanks I grow a lot of cucurbitas and needed a good recipe to cope with a glut of them. I presume any type could be used in this recipe rather than just the pumpkin.

bon gourd

Yes mate any squash type

Hi Rich,

Ok, let me begin with......Wow, that really does look very good.  I am not into veggies that much my self but got to say, I wouldn't turn my nose up at this if I was offered it in a restaurant.

I have never cooked with any kind of squash for myself so not really sure what to expect.  I'm guessing 'sweet'?  This looks right up the wifes street, she loves her veg, so I may give this a whirl for her.

What a compliment from Abdul too, that he wishes to put it on his menu.

Very well done Rich.

It just goes to show, that even out of the ashes of cr0, a curry pheonix can still rise  ;D

Ray :)

Thanks mate - it does taste very good - - it was very filling - cooking with pumpkin etc is easy mate to be honest the carrot compliments it - as i said i didn't want to pre cook the pumpkin - didn't want it to over cook in the curry itself - i wanted the subtle flavour to cook through - it did. Again as many chilies can be added to spice it up.
I will be making a pumpkin and carrot dhansak next followed by pumpkin bhuna - not that i like pumpkin but as a veggie alternative it really works well - hope you give it a whirl Ray - let me know if you were in the wife's good books
best, Rich

p.s. its not too sweet nothing like a Korma - naturally sweet!!
