Tandoori and Tikka / Re: Chicken Tikka - better than the BIRs
March 26, 2011, 11:57 AM
By the way, the esteemed contributors to Wikipedia have the following to say on the subject:

"When used for solids, such as granulated sugar, it should be measured to the flattened level of the spoon[citation needed]

Has anyone got a Delia Smith book at home?  I bet Delia can give us a definitive answer!

I'm considering cooking up some Bombay Aloo to go with my Chicken Tikka tomorrow, but which one?  Will look forward to the results of this test!

Thanks guys, for now I think I'll use two level spoonfuls in place of a heaped one.  In a marinade it's not going to make a lot of difference if I'm a little out anyway.

If freezing these chicken tikkas is this best done before or after cooking do you think?  I suppose reheating cooked tikka may risk drying it out, but freezing raw marinaded tikka may lead to a watery result when defrosted which may shed too much of its marinade.  Can't decide what the best way might be.

Lets Talk Curry / Re: Should children eat BIR type curries?
March 26, 2011, 10:30 AM
I think you'd have to look at the child's diet as a whole rather than simply to ask how much of one food type they can consume.  In other words the answer to your question might be "depends what else they eat".

If curries are the fatty part of an otherwise balanced diet, great.  If curries are for contrast in a diet of fish&chips, chinese, pizza, etc.  Not so great.

Quick Q about the measures in this recipe - Blade asks for hpd tbl and hpd tsp - how much more than a level teaspoon or tablespoon is a heaped one?  I ask because I tend to use measuring cups so a level teaspoon or tablespoon is spot on but not easy to judge a heaped one.

Do I add 50% or double up?

Hi Pat,

Welcome to CR0!  For sure you'll attain your goal if you try a few of the recipes from here.  I've started with variants of the Ashoka recipes but there are many others to try which may give as good or better results (I can't say as I've not yet tried them).
