No Photo cos I scoffed it, but i made another this morning with a whole 'really small' finely chopped onion and 2 chopped chilies fried until cooked and then added a teaspoon of CA's mix powder, some chopped coriander and then 2 eggs with some cheddar cheese. Finished it under the grill and it was the best I've done yet. I'll do it again tomorrow and post a photo. There's plenty mileage left in this.

So where do you live, Gav ?  A good murgh-e-mussalam is worth travelling a few miles for ...

In that delightful seaside hamlet of Whitley Bay. I'll try and find out what they call it but it sounds like what you've said, both in name and description. They only seem to do it now for xmas day with a whole chicken. The last one was the best yet and they also do something similar with a whole leg of lamb. I'll ask next time I'm in for the names. Its surprising how busy the restaurant is for xmas day I have to say.

I have seen and ordered / eaten in a couple of Indian restaurants (ok one is Nepalese) a dish called Kulchi Chicken which is a whole chicken - has to be ordered 24 hours in advance - which is cooked with Keema mince inside, whole eggs, spiced coating / sauce etc.  Brilliant dish

I used to eat this in Orpington (restaurant name forgotten, and no longer there), where they called it "Murgh e massalam"; before ordering it for the first time, I asked (as it was expensive) if it was a dish for two.  "Oh no, Sir", the waiter said, "just for one".  You can imagine how surprised I was to see a whole spring chicken as the basis of the meal !  It was served bone-in, of course, not de-boned.

This is what we usually have when we go to our local restaurant for Christmas Dinner for which we've been doing for quite a few years now. Really Nice ! and the inclusion of a few roast potatoes and a few sprouts on the side give it that xmas touch. 

Tonights effort with the last of my CA base was South Indian 'Smoked' Garlic Chicken  with Dips Bombay Potatoes and mushroom pilau. I had to add some extra chicken as my son decided he would eat with us. I thought the curry was lovely (could have been a bit hotter for me though) but the missus said it was a bit to tomato'ee for her. The Potatoes were as good as my local and the rice for a second attempt was fine. The smoked garlic was lovely but I don't really know how much difference it gave the dish. I'll definitely do the curry again but next time it'll have to be at work. This site is the mutts nuts

Will have to make some more base next week and I'm thinking of trying either Taz's or the Glasgow one.

For lunch the other day I tried Titlis Busy Kitchen's Egg and Potato Curry as I've always loved curried potatoes of any sort along with eggs (of any sort). I used a couple of birds eye chillis instead of chili powder and also chucked in a tin of chick Peas (for which I can eat like sweets ) It turned out quite nice for a lunch and I served it with my first attempt of Pilau rice for which I added a bit to much ghee (and over did the red food colouring) so it was slightly greasy although tasted great. Tonight, I'm going to try the South Indian Garlic Chicken but with some smoked garlic I picked up in the Galloway Smokehouse in Dumfries and Galloway. It smells gorgeous. Along with this I'm doing Dips Bombay Potatoes and some Pilau rice. If the wife likes it I could be posting the results tomorrow and if not, probably tonight .

Hey Santa, you ain't seen nothing until you've seen her 'Crazy Jal Frezi' video.  As my dear old mother used to say, she is a slate short of a full roof!

Ray

Personally, I think her whole roofs fell off never mind one slate, but some nice stuff to try.

Came across this 'barking mad' lady on YouTube a while ago and although not BIR, I've tried a couple of her recipes and they are nice. If you look under her Indian section, there's quite a few recipes there and nicely set out for people who are just starting to cook. I'm going to try the egg and potato curry for lunch today.

Very appetising looking curry.  May have to hot my takeaway remnants up from last night now. Excellent accompliment with the Grimbergen too  .  Although i do prefer the Leffe as my staple beer, followed by one or two 8% -9% little numbers. A real good one is triple karmaleit 

I discovered Grimbergen last year in France. I normally drink beer and find that after a few days of drinking French lager, it becomes like drinking battery acid so I tried the Grimbergen and its fantastic. Everyone whose tried it thinks its great as well. I'll have to try a couple of Leffe again with a curry, sounds like another match made in heaven. Has a recommended beer/lager accompaniments thread been done yet because there's some really nice ones out there now?  My local restaurant of choice gave me  a bottle of King Cobra after we had our Christmas Dinner there (again) and that was really good. Just looking on Google and its brewed in Belgium. With regards to Grimbergen and Leffe I'm not sure of the difference between an Abbey Ale and a lager as I think the Abbey Ales are to me like 'Premium' Lagers.

Glad you enjoyed it.. I was given this to do in the test of the month thingy. Yours looks lighter in colour than mine but probs down to photos on here etc.. I thought it too mild for me but very fragrant and missus and other Saturday regulars gave it the thumbs up.  on menu again for tomorrow.

Thats why I put 2 heaped teaspoons of chilli in the mix but I would have still had it hotter. Still very nice though. Chicken Jaflon again at work tomorrow night. Can't wait.

Decided tonight on Chicken Jaipuri https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,11591.0.html and basically stuck to the recipe although added some chopped red pepper to the tomato and also some extra chili powder. Was a bit wary when I first tried it but after a couple of spoonfulls, we both decided it was lovely and it'll be definitely be done again. Washed it down with a couple of bottles of Grimbergen. Very nice.
