Hmmm, is it wrong to have so many mix powders?

No, but it was wrong to post this topic to 'main dishes chat' so I moved it.

Also, why start a new thread, when there's another current thread about mix powders?

Why not just PM the offender, rather than try to make them look stupid?

I wasn't planning on cooking anything tonight...big couscous night tomorrow...

But..

I'm doing a Malfrezi: Jalfrezi with no coriander or red pepper, just green chillis (large moroccan) and onion. Squeeze of lemon juice (or it'd just be a chicken curry) and a drop of worcester sauce.

Cheers Naga. I thought someone had put up a recipe I think I have everything in the cupboard too.

It's one I've been meaning to make for ages, and it's always been getting hold of the kashmiri paste that's held me back.

Any chance of your recipe Naga?

I believe it's used in CT's Chicken tikka masala too.

I'm sure 'kashmiri' chilli powder is a general name to cover a lot of different species, much like paprika.

This year I started drying chillis and making my own powder, It's good fun to be able to dabble around with different levels of heat/ fruitiness/ colour etc.

I'll have a look out for the 'Hera' brand.

I've never tried lime in a madras

That's because a Madras doesn't have lime in it.  :

I know it has lemon in it.

My precooked chicken has cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, asian bay, mace, it's good in a lot of dishes, but I like my Madras simple.

I've never tried lime in a madras, I'll have to give that a go when I have a piece lying around in the fridge. Why no ginger? I also note that you  use raw chicken which I did for years, only recently using pre-cooked. I think I might go back to the raw chicken, I find the precooking adds too much flavour.

What's your take on the recipe lc?

Tinned pineapples? I wasn't born in the last war, I only eat fresh ones
