Hi extrahotchillie

I'm up in the Valleys in good old Nantyglo (near Brynmawr) and yes the sheep are very nervous especially Fri and Sat nights when the locals get pissed !

This Restaurant is one of the best Curry houses in Gwent.

Nothing special as regards to furnishing and decor with it's red carpet wallpaper and seating from the 60's but the Curry is to die for.
I recommend anyone who is in the area sometime to pop in and try a Chicken Vindaloo

Very impressive nice colour / texture looking good and a nice oil content well done !

I will post my recipes shortly for
Lamb Bhoona On The Bone.

Hi Terry,

Many thank's for answering my question about spice mix I intend making this Tikka marinade and I will give you feedback on my findings shortly.

It looks a good recipe I'm particularly interested in the 1Tbs of Mango powder.

Hi CK

The Indian butchers in my area don't charge for cutting up the Lamb or any other meat as far as I know as long as you purchase it from them.

I buy a whole leg of Lamb which costs about ?12 to ?14  depending on weight of course and the meat is weighed AFTER being trimmed of fat and sinnew so you are not paying for waste.

I then weigh out four equal portions sharing the bone pieces between them in plastic bags and put them in the freezer then defrost and cook as required (roughly 1+quarter lb in each bag) which is just right for 2 people or in my case 2 suppers.

Or I may buy a whole leg of Mutton for ?10 to ?12 but you would get half as much meat extra again than Lamb because it's cheaper Mutton needs to be cooked / simmered for twice as long as Lamb but it definitely has more flavour most Indian families will go for the Mutton because it goes further for their money and it has a much stronger taste.

Hi Everyone,

This is my Lamb Bhoona on the bone which I have just eaten for my supper it's made from the Lambs Leg which is expertly cut up by those wonderful Indians butchers who trim off every bit of fat and sinew then cut it into bite size pieces.

Then they crank the Bansaw up and cut the bone into bitesize pieces with an exact amount of meat left around the bone I must say they are like surgeons which our butchers would never have the Patience do for us and of course it's halal which is related to the Muslim faith I cant see how it tastes any different myself I suppose it's their religious beliefs.

Mine tasted lovely tonight anyway !

Hi curryqueen

Yes the chillies are Raw old habits die hard I'm afraid.

I was introduced to eating them this way by an Indian who was a very good friend of mine I would often be treated to a meal when ever I was at his home and of course the chillies where a statuary extra I would say No thank's I cannot eat them they are to hot but in the end because of not wanting to seem ungrateful I actually started enjoying them so as they say when in Rome now I'm addicted to them.

If I ever go to an Indian restaurant I will politely ask if I may have 1 or 2 with my meal they usually just smile and probably think but your Not Indian only we eat them this way if only they knew I probably eat as much spicy food as them !

Hi ifindforu

May I ask what is the origin of this recipe and what do you mean by the term "special spice" ?

I take it this is a tried and tested recipe otherwise you wouldn't be sharing it with us anyway thank's in advance.
