just made this to spec... had no deggi mirch so used kashmiri powder instead.

All other ingredients and measures done exactly per the recipe.

found the use of a whole lime way over powering though. could probably use half.

chicken tikka dhansak... I polished it off but not sure if this is my thing

the music wasn't too bad and the editing was well done.  ;)

That said,  once I saw you add yogurt to the mixture I had to switch it off.

Yogurt - the destroyer of Tikka, some people may like it but the texture isn't right IMO.

A step backwards from blades recipe that I still use as my goto tikka marinade.

Just done 10 portions of pilau myself.

bring a pot of water to the boil with
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon turmeric
A piece of cassia
2 indian bay leaves
the juice of half a lemon

boil for a couple of mins and then remove the spices (put to one side)

Add rice (unwashed) and stir
continue to cook rice stirring gently and occasionally

After 8 mins remove from heat and drain

transfer to a large casserole dish, large patter or whatever you have and gently run a fork through the rice.

add ghee/butter or oil to a pan
add 2 cloves of garlic minced
1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
and the hard spices from earlier
and cook for a few mins until the garlic browns.
strain the oil through a sieve and pour over your rice.

Been doing pilau this way for a long time and it never fails.

Asda have Baxter's French onion soup on offer at 50p each.

Bought 3 tins of it to experiment with.

I'll post my results when I get round to making a base with it.

Love your recipes chewy  :)

Easy to follow ingredients & instructions, results are spot on as well.

Will be having a crack at this tomorrow.   

BTW.  what's the ratios for green chilli paste ?

cheers
