I must add my name to the plaudits CH, it is a fine looking curry of the highest possible standard. I do really think of the NIS as your signature dish. Now as for the balti bucket I was served a curry on one of them locally so they are clearly getting around the country. It certainly adds to the superb presentation.

Sounds like it might be a good idea to wait for it to come around again and continue to swear at my current 150w one. Blending is a bit like watching paint dry at the moment but I have to say I'm amazed it hasn't gone into meltdown. Have you had the silvercrest for long?

Glad you enjoyed CA!

Great pics and tasty looking treats Chewy.

I have the same blender as Phil and it works a treat - it will come up again in their stores.

"Washing soda" = "soda crystals" = sodium carbonate = Na2CO3

"Bicarbonate of soda" = "baking soda" = sodium hydrogen carbonate = E500 = NaHCO3

"Baking powder" = bicarbonate of soda + one or more acid salts.  Typical formulation :  sodium bicarbonate + monocalcium phosphate + sodium aluminium sulphate.

Only the first is of any use for releasing caramelised sweet-and-sour sauce from the base of stainless-steel saucepans !

cheers Phil

Yes Les I do bake with bi-carb and no Les it's not the same as baking powder. I think it's the different terms are crossing over and maybe there are georgraphical differenes and I'm trying to understand Phil's first post.

mm.....another daft question then - is that the same as bi-carbonate of soda?

When you say washing soda Phil is that the same thing as washing powder?

Another cracker of a curry MA, all it's missing is the chips
