My Daughter said the same thing ( smells like an Indian restaurant )when she pulled onto the drive, i find it such a compliment, I've got 20 frozen in vacuum bags now lol.

Poppadoms freeze ok too, done that.
If im cooking a curry meal for friends i will either cook and freeze or cook it the day before so i can enjoy it without having to have been at the cooker for ages.

Im not allowed to cook them in the kitchen because of the smell, as it was raining i cooked them on a portable induction hob in the garden cabin outside  12 x 18ft with the doors and windows open, i cooked about 25, two days later it still smells of them, funny tho i get a fix from cooking them as much as i do from eating them, who else gets complaints from cooking curry stuff in the kitchen, yet eating is is no problem.

Its good to know what other people do, JT i agree with the points you raise, regarding high output burners i believe as long as you can caramelise the sauce your ok, Livo i follow Misty"s recipe,s too

UF that makes total sense,

yep gotcha, thanks

Thanks Phil, so would i be right in that you cook the chicken in the sauce without searing in the pan first.

The way i understand it is that Restaurants pre cook for speed, so in order to replicate the texture / taste of what we eat out we should pre cook as well, if im pre cooking i tend to marinate and cook as tikka, if its going into a sauce i use hot air in the oven rather than grilling and only cook to it enough so it finishes off in the sauce.

I wondered what other forum members do ?

Ive got the same problem here, i was thinking of putting them in the oven to dry them out 50c overnight and whizz them into powder, maybe make a mix, making sure i dont breathe any in lol

Now we all know why it was closing down, hate it when you get an awful meal, such a waste of time and money.

Hi Leeroydan, Personally i use 1 ltr square tubs, as most of my cooking is for a few people, i tend to freeze the base thick so it doubles up when cooking, that way i save on freezer space, others have said they store 300ml and 600ml pots pretty much each to their own, def store to water down tho, hope that helps
