Yes, apologies - take Phil's advice and you will find help

Lol Phil - I don't know that. But if they are all from the sub-continent, I would assume they wouldn't have to engage someone to cook the curry lunch who had to post on here for ideas. Perhaps children or grandchildren would have experience in the cuisine of the sub-continent.

I think they're more likely to be incontinent than sub-continent.

Perhaps Moodymare will provide us with their backgrounds to allow us to make an informed judgement

Are you crazy? Or are the people organising it crazy?

I can't imagine that that number of 70-90 year olds wouldn't rather have roast beef or roast chicken. Get out while you can. It will end in tears

Stunning as always Rob.

Tell me you didn't do that on the camping stove.

Thank you Kylie, you're very kind

Geezah,

I am quite happy to take any constructive criticism and I fully understand sarcasm. I don't think chewy's post was either. But hey, I'll be more careful

I used this one for the batter and the dip - substituting precooked chicken of your choice instead of haggis - unless of course you want haggis

Since Rob's cooker is out of action, thought I'd try to fill the void.

Couldn't be bothered making a full-blown curry so just went for pakora instead.

Fresh out the frier



On the plate



And with dip

Thanks for your kind words Chewy. A bit harsh I think, having looked at a few of your efforts.

As for nigella/onion - they are the same thing? Want to do some research and come back?

Corned beef bhuna - now there's an idea

I agree with Phil in that the base is only a foundation for the finished dish. It shouldn't be discernable in the finished dish, but should merely add background depth of flavour and, probably more importantly, body and texture.

Before I found this site and started trying to make BIR style curries, I used to make a Pathia-style dish from scratch. I now make the same dish and add a few ladles of base sauce and hey presto. What a difference.

Anyway, I'm off work today and not many people seem to be posting, so just thought I'd have a waffle
