PS: Don't know about mussels in a curry, Gav.Moules Frites? Now your talking!

I was sceptical before i ordered it but, as I do like mussels, I'd definitely get it again.

And Moules Frites, not for me thank you. I'm a plain old Moules marini

Looks good MT and I'm glad it came out good for you. Had a Bhuna Mussel on Puri on New Years eve for which was a lot better than I expected

Is your garlic/ginger pre-minced store bought kind?.....I find this, especially the garlic can add a weird bitter taste to currys if the jars ar'nt so fresh

For me I use fresh but have the frozen blocks of each as a back up. The jar stuff annoys me for starters when it spits all over the kitchen

You can spend as much time in a bir kitchen as you like but you will never see and they will never share the big secret with you,.........

What big secret is that??

I've tried a few different meats/cuts for my meat curry, for days when chicken curry just won't cut it. I settled on mutton shoulder as the best all around flavour / texture for curry. Takes a good amount of pre cooking to make it tender though. Your post first put me onto mutton shoulder as a good candidate. Thanks

One of my favorites Sverige along with chicken leg meat. Splash out on a pressure cooker, they're perfect for tougher meat pre-cooks. I've got some of both to bag and freeze today that were cooked yesterday. 

Happy Currying Xmas everyone.

I've yet to be won over with Stifado. Mate of mine makes it but I always find he over does it with the cinnamon. Still looks nice Naga and perfect accompaniments for me with that type of meal The mash looks perfect.

Its been talked about on here a few times. Try pasting this in the search

"king of spices" basaar


as the resulting url didn't seem to work

 Comp Chomp indeed...that looks superb Chewy.  Thin base usually for me but I'd definitely have that. 

Made a mistake looking at all this before going for some breakfast I could happliy eat the lot. Good stuff
