Yumm...That naan is just how I like it too

I can just handle crispy duck pancakes and Hoisin sauce but 2 would be the limit. Too much sweetness and I would puke.
I am sweet enough hahahahaha  :

I am partial to a bit of mint but when I have it with Lamb I only use it on my peas and mash. I like a bit of cranberry sauce with any roast but only a smidge, as I hate sweet/ savoury dishes.

Sounds like you ate like a king this weekend though crispy roasties are a must. I always pre boil, shake, add hot oil, hil oven and a bit of salt= winner!

I wanted to do a roast but I had some tikka marinating since Friday that needed using and so I made that for the kids and did a precooked (earlier today) madras for me and the hubby. Only fail was that I only had 3 H4ppy naan dough balls left and 3 naans into 4 people didnt go so everyone is looking forward to batch number 3

I have only tried 1 base (Zaal) and have several consistently great Madras curries. Iwill try another base when this is nearly done and when I make the Zaal again I will use more water but the taste is pretty great .
Let us know how you get on with Madras and other base as Madras is my all time fave

Hi, The packed lunch was envied by my sons colleagues so that was a winner and then Friday night I did a takeaway for my mum and dad with Tikka starters (with salad in a bag ...lol) madras and naans and today I have premade my curry and naans ready for a quick tea later.

We are all spiced up

I just got some of those pegs that seal the tops of the plastic bags from Ikea and all my spices are in a giant sandwich type box (From Home bargains ?2.49) in a dark cupboard so hopefully they will be alright like that.

My son (20) has just come down to say goodnight and to put an order in for chicken tikka kebabs in my naan for Friday packed lunch lol 

Haha Meggeth, Small world eh? I will take a trip up there asap then , Cheers!

Good luck Mark. Have fun !! I have learned so much in just a week  ;D

Cheers Gav,
I used chewys vid for my first 2 BIR madras's last week. It was great to "cook along to" and was very tasty,then last nights was one from Andy's "E-book".

I saved some from last night as I always enjoy some cold the next morning and I tell you it tastes not that far away from my local BIR madras. Proud!!!!

Chewy, I didn't know that about the powder. I love how much you guys are willing to share so we can all save a few quid from the takeaways and improve our cooking skills. Awesome!!
