Looks very appetising indeed!

Having set RubyDoo the challenge of making PanPot's Ashoka Jaipuri in the recent Secret Recipe Group Test, I was spurred into action to make it for myself as it's one of my favourite dishes and one of the first I tried from this site.



I didn't have all of the authentic Ashoka ingredients to hand, so I substituted CA's base (leftovers from the Group Test), IFFU's pre-cooked chicken and my own garlic/ginger paste. I DID have the real deal bunjara (my last from the freezer!) and I decided that I would also chuck in a couple of tablespoon's worth of Zaal red masala sauce for good measure.

Guess what? It was lovely! Nicely balanced as always - and the Zaal sauce added that touch of je ne sais quoi which just finished the dish off perfectly. This was the second half of a curry I made on Saturday night and it's one which I will make again and again.

Recently, I've been so busy trying out new dishes from the forum that I completely forget about all the great dishes I've made and enjoyed in the past! I'm glad I revisited this one, and I won't leave it so long to make again next time.

That's 3 thighs worth, CT (its a big plate!). Also used the last of my Lingham's sauce as you previously suggested. Perfect! Need to get some more myself next week now!

I've just ordered Tesco's own 3.5 litre capacity slow cooker for

Chicken 65 (recipe from Vahchef Sanjay Thumma).



Absolutely delicious! Just the job to chase away the winter blues!

It's OK, NJ, it doesn't take much to get me salivating, but between 976bar and yourself, I'm convinced that I must try this recipe. And I think you're dead right about the fajitas - it'll be a winner, no doubt about it.

Wow, NJ! Your description of the cooked pork is making my mouth water - and it's not even 8am yet! I might just have to nip out for a cheap slow cooker and a big joint of pork shoulder!

Excellent! I like it! At last we can have a laugh about this madness and get the toys back into the pram!

Your right what is a boaby 

Boaby:

Noun.

Definition

(a) Scottish diminutive for a person named Robert, e.g. "Hey! Boaby, it's your round!"
(b) Scottish slang describing the male member, e.g. "She likes a bit o' the boaby."

As the OP's name appears to be Alex, I think that definition (b) is the one!

I agree with your view, Stephen. I haven't tried any of these recipes yet, and may never do so (I wonder how many of our friends down south know what a "boaby" is?), but if its in any way authentic it goes a long way to explain how almost every T/A meal local to me tastes the much same with only the odd tweak here and there.

Pronounced "Blantir" by the locals (don't forget the glottal stop on the "t")...
