i love you

I love you too Sam but that's not the issue here!

This is what I have been considering from way back in 2005...
https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=52.msg95#msg95
But from what I can see a Bhuna is also suitable?

Geezah I really do appreciate that mate.
At this point I'm trying to work out what I want to do with the lamb on the bone mix that I have in the freezer. So far I have only viewed one recipe and tonight I will be hunting down a few more suitable ones.
If I decide to go for the original one I may well take you up on your offer mate!
Thanks once again.

(Javantry) Thanks very much i think I can track it down in this TRS form.

I have been viewing a Rogan Josh recipe here which specifies "1 blade of mace". How would I come across a blade of mace, do they come in packets. from what i have read it is the outer coating of nutmeg. Do i have to buy whole nutmeg and strip it.
Would I buy a whole packet just to use one and then have the rest stuck in my cupboard for years until I find another recipe that requires it??

There is a local halal butchers close to me that does what is described by them as "Curry Mix"

Apart from not being an Ophthalmologist or based in India Gulloo the rest of it is me all over.

Stick around as I have only found the people on here very helpfull and accommodating.

I forgot to add, an icecube size of Mick's CBM bunjarra joined the show as well

For the tikka marinate I used Julians c2go.
For those new here and not familiar with it you can find it here on his public channel...
Tikka Masala Sauce Recipe(Part 1).

The few stages I caught on my cam...


I love the colour on this one.


This was the finished marinate of which I have had frozen for the past 3/4 weeks but chipping the odd Tbs off to throw into the occasional curry.


I would like to add that these photos were taken on my phone camera which is very basic IE no flash Etc. Some of the pics you will see have been taken outside to compensate for this, but some others have been in such bad lighting that I have used my pc to brighten them up bit  but not tweak colours etc unless it's decided to do it automatically?
Please don't think all my curries come out as sunny as they look as even I've been amazed at some of the look of them once uploaded.
Forgot to add that The Massala sauce I made had no cream in it also, hence another aspect of the "No Thrills".
So did it really qualify a real BIR?
Well not really but it went down lovelly!

No thrills as in no almond powder as I could not find it and no fresh coriander dressing as I forgot it.

The meal though certainly thrilled me, as not being a great lover of this dish re the coconut it certainly went down well this time!
The Chicken Tikka in itself was great and next time i might make a batch just for wraps etc.
It was a bit of a hybrid as the only thing I had in the house was C2go marinate and CA base, this to me really did taste BIR probably because for once I didn't go ott with any chillies etc so the taste of the spices were shining through.

Chicken Tikka, strategically placed for photo shoot!

Massala, strategically placed in center of rice apart from one argumentative lump!

The last pic of it all laid out look an absolute Shrine to the cuisine mate... Lovely
