Jerry,
I will do it all today and keep it in the fridge but the meat I will bbq or grill on the day just before serving up.

Cheers

Will

Will,

i'd go for cooking anything the day before. i know fresh is best but cooking the curry and then using the microwave to reheat produces a decent result (u'd have to be really on the ball to spot the difference other than with a side by side comparison). just got top be careful with the meat.

on the bhajis - from what Axe's say's on the forming - this must be key. overwork and they are too dense, underwork them and they fall apart too much during the transfer to the fryer. something to practise.

Thanks for that Jerry.  I will prepare most things the day before apart from the meat.  This I will bbq (chicken & lamb tikka) on the day.  The Bhajis I will try to work more and also make the day before and give them their 1st fry.

cheers

Will

I am thinking the same about prepping the onions the day before Jerry.  Doing a Curry night Saturday for my free painter (son in law + my daughter & grandkids)(hope the kids are not painting ;D).  When I made these everything was spot on but they were hard to shape and drop into the deep fat fryer(very loose)  Axe said about working the onions more too soften them so will try that after 24 hrs in the fridge.  So I will prep the onions Friday & make on Saturday.

Also I am wondering whether or not to make the curries Friday too to save time Saturday ( I have plenty of CA's excellent base in the freezer that I made last week).  Will it be ok to make them & chill in the fridge for 1 day?  The meat i will bbq or grill weather depending on Saturday?

  The last bit is off topic a bit for thes thread I know but hey I just done 16h nightshift  : and can't be bothered to look elsewhere .

Cheers Will

Virginmedia all the way, I've had it a few years now - fantastic
I had sky too, fantastic but i live a long way from a BT exchange so sky bb was 1mb.  Virgin I get 20mb, a big difference for a family with 4 computers.
Now I am hearing about sky hd so I have been looking at that but to combine the two works out expensive.
All in all both are very good so you cant go wrong with either.

cheers

Will

okies, lol, just thought whats the point and probably read it wrong.


cheers

Will

My guess is that they never existed

Where do you suppose they came from then?

QuoteI suggested a while back that it would be an idea to have a cull, down to the low hundreds of members who really do exist, even if most of them only log on two or three times a year

What difference will it make (apart from to free up some server space, maybe?)?

The difference it will make is it will stop the people who don't post from posting :

P.S @Willyeckerslike, sorry although i posted the link for Amazon as an example i didn't buy it from there, have a look on here its the makers home page CLICK HERE

It would be a bit rude to say my naans were BIR but damn it they definitely are, fluffy light with a slight crunch in places when eaten straight away and nice the following morning when the leftovers get eaten for breakfast.

thanks Rob I fancy getting myself one

Them dishes look really good Rob, I will have to try the CTM & Mushroom rice next time I have a curry night (looking like a week on Saturday).  The Naan looks very nice and I am interested in it & the pizza maker you got from Amazon (unavailable atm).  How does the naan compare to a TA or BIR?

These worked a treat Axe, thanks for the post.  Definately the best by far I have made but I wasn't sure if the texture was right when trying to mould them into balls, the onions were very loose but plonked them into the fryer anyway and they held together far better than I thought they would.  Taste was great too ;D

cheers

Will

Today is my first day off for a while so was planning to make a base, CK tikka massalla for the Mrs & CA Vindaloo for me with Peterandjens pilau rice.  Also going to try making the IG Onion Bhaji by Axe for the first time.  Might not bother, do Lidl do Onion Bhajis?
