I thought I would do a mixed grill for a change. Sometimes Tandoori King Prawn is included in a mixed grill but I don't like seafood so I left it out. So here we have Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tikka and Sheek Kebab with salad and yellow mint sauce. Most enjoyable.

Hi Stephen,

What recipe do you use for the Yellow Mint Sauce please?

Looks Spectacular Stephen

Care to share that with my tonight's Garlic Chilli Chicken Masala and Veggie Jalfrezi?

Lovely touch with the toasted cumin seeds in the pastry
little things like that can make all the difference
Not surprised they all went Bob.  They look like winners to me

Don't forget the Chilli Flakes!! Thanks Mate

Amazing work 976, truly impressive and professional looking. Must make you feel proud that when these students remember their time at the uni, some are going to treasure the memory of your food. I bet that turns out to be true as well.

Thanks Chris,

You're not a million miles away from the Uni, you'll have to pop down one Thursday night for curry night!!

Thanks Phil

As part of my quest to find new recipes, I decided to try some Chicken Tikka & Bombay Aloo Pasties.

My partner who is a fantastic pastry chef made her spectacular pastry and we added some Turmeric for colour, some toasted Cumin seeds and some Chilli Flakes.

For the filling we first of all added some caramalised onions with finely sliced fresh chilli, then a layer of Chicken Tikka which was tossed in some Tikka Masala sauce to make it moist, then alongside that we added some specifically made Bombay Aloo where the potato pieces were made into small cubes, then a sprinkling of freshly chopped Coriander.

The pasties were then folded and egg washed and cooked in an oven at 180C for about 20 minutes.

We put these out on the counter at lunchtime yesterday and could not keep up demand. After about 65, we ran out of ingredients and had to call it a day.

The possibilities of fillings for these are endless and make a fantastic Street Party food or any kind of party snack when friends are round.

Thanks Bob
I'm doing a curry night for 60 Rugby coaches in 2 weeks at my local club
Then 2 days later at the same place a Birthday bash ( not sure on numbers yet with that one)
The good thing I can cook more than enough for the coaches night knowing I can use it for the
Birthday night
I do know everyone for both events so its not about making money but I do want to make life a bit easier for myself . Last time I went over the top  and made individual curries which took alot of time up so bulk is good any suggestions welcome Bob
Looking forward to some more Bulkies
Cheers Michael

Hi Michael,

Tonight was curry night at the UNI and I made 15kg Garlic Chilli Chicken Masala and 15kg Chicken Dopiaza, plus about 5kg of Veggie Jalfrezi.

I'll get round to posting the recipes over the next few days. Unfortunately I'm working tomorrow and we have an open day for 2000 new students on Saturday, so it might be next week before I get the chance.

Regards,

Bob

Nice one Bob
How many would that feed ?   Roughly

Hi Michael,

Depending on portion size, I would say between 60 & 75 people. At the UNI they reckon 5kg Chicken is for 25 people.

Hi All,

As promised here is the start of the bulk recipes.

This goes in hand with the bulk Tikka Paste posted last week.

Again this is bulk cooking not exact BIR but probably as close as you will get to BIR for cooking of this size.

You have seen the pictures of the results on the homemade Tikka Paste Recipe.

Tikka Masala

This makes enough sauce for either 15kg Chicken or Vegetables

Ingredients
300ml Oil
375g Butter
190g Garlic Puree
300g Tandoori Masala
30g Salt
30g chilli Powder
1200g Coconut Milk Powder (I use Maggi)
3 litres semi skimmed milk
700g Almond Powder
550ml Tomato Puree dissolved in Hot Water
190g Spice Mix
900g white sugar
4.5 Litres of Base Sauce (I use Taz

Cheers for sharing Bob, i'll definitely give it a go next week.

I tried H4ppy Chris's Kashmiri masala paste this week and I am impressed.

All we need now is a good tandoori paste recipe and it's bye bye to Pataks...lol.

Your food looks bang on mate.

Hi Mick,

As I said previously, this was a first attempt and although it's close it does need further work. And yes I will be trying the Kashmiri paste as  have a 3kg bag of dried Kashmiri chillies to play with at the UNI, but this is a little way off yet
