This question already answered. Ignore.

Here are pics of the Mothership Pizza Oven. I have the balls out warming to room temp now so I'll post some pics of cooked Naan in an hour or so.

20 grams of GM. Smell is fantastic.

@Phil: That is going to make for a lot of code.
@GI: thanks for fixing that up.

Question without notice.  Is the Longi Pepper unusual?  I've never seen it before.

My own answer is it's a spelling mistake / typo on the label. It's actually a Long Pepper.

I watched a chef use methi he put a good pinch in his palms then rubbed it to a powder then lobbed it in
I have tried and for some unknown reason it makes the curry less harsh
I expect someone who is a professor of methi use and what height to drop for the best flavour will educate us all ;D

Probably depends on whether or not you've just scratched your cashews.

Didn't even consider that.

Table insertion is better but still a bit out of whack.

Cheers Phil,
I'll give it a go in the Garam Masala thread.

Very interesting looking at it this way ELW ;) I may make the Madras powder fresh for comparison.
Always make my own Garam Masala, and very little sprinkled tastes so potent.

I haven't made it yet and I'm not sure how mild it will be with 5 Red Kashmiri Chillis in it for that overall quantity. Someone else may be better able to tell at a glance if it will be mild or not.

For mine it worked out pretty well, and really 120 ml or so in a 1.6 - 1.75 litre gravy is only around 7% and it is possible to use more or less or add some water to the gravy if it's too strong. I diluted it to make the Mango Chicken.

Ideally I would like to make my own pastes and since the ingredients are listed on the pack in descending order of amounts, it shouldn't be too hard to get fairly close.  I watched H4ppy Chris's vid on the Kashmiri Masala Paste so I'll be giving that a go too.

I actually found the Base Gravy recipe I was looking for on the Opposition Site in a supposedly New Recipe Set  that appears to have gone nowhere. It really is nothing like what I came up with anyway but now that I have found this paste I 'll probably give it a go.  Can't hurt to try.
