I hope the Forum doesn't die.I've been on it since it started and I my curry cooking knowledge and skills would be nowhere near as good as they are if I hadn't found it.I remember when the Forum started I didn't really know about base sauce ingredients or mix powder so we've come a long way.There's so much good info on this site now.

Sure,it's not as busy on here any more and a lot of the old regular people have moved on for one reason or another.I still check in regularly to see what's happening,I must admit I don't post that much stuff,only if I've been cooking or if I have anything new from my takeaway kitchen.I think I've seen just about everything been prepared and cooked and I've posted everything I've learned from there.

I still visit and watch the chefs,we've become great friends.They've actually got another chef now to help out as the place is so busy.He's a great bloke from a local takeaway that's recently shut down,he does things a slightly bit different so anything new I learn I will report back as soon as I know anything.

Nice one JB great looking table of food. Got a list of what you cooked ?

I cooked chicken tikka masala,plain tikka,balti pathia,chicken garam masala,chicken pathia,sag aloo,bombay potato,chana massala,pilau rice,chilli keema naan and peshwari naan

I also did some food for my neighbours' garden party a few weeks ago.There  were about twenty people in the end,so I had my work cut out feeding them all.I basically just did multiple portions of each dish and then kept them hot.The trickiest part were the chilli keema naans,trying to keep them fresh and hot along with everything else.A few pics...







Everything went to plan(even the naan breads!).My guests were more than impressed,some of them didn't actually believe I'd made it all by myself.The only downside was the messy kitchen,haven't quite mastered the art of keeping clean it clean whilst curry cooking!!

Had my curry pans out a while back,I did a bit of a feast for my colleagues at work.

I did a bit of a varied menu,some mild dishes and some hot,a few old favourites and a couple of new things....

A few pics,chicken korma,nilgril chicken,garam masala ,balti rezalla,garlic chilli chicken,murgh makhani,bombay aloo,chiken madras,tikka masala and some pilau rice.













Apologies for some fuzzy pictures but as you can imagine things got a bit hectic.It all went down well(not much was left!!),
a lot of nice comments which made it all worthwhile.

I managed to see my tandoor chef make up his peshwari naan mix last week.Altlough I've seen (and tried) a few versions of peshwari mixture from different scources none have ever given me a truly authentic peshwari naan taste.This is how he does it in the takeaway and I have to say it's spot on,Quite easy to scale down as well as I have done on my recent curry feasts.In a large foil container he had almonds,sultanas,cashews,and sesame seeds.These were blitzed with a tin of fruit cocktail and then he added some chopped banana,desicated coconut,uht cream and sugar to make a thick paste.He actually brushes the finished naan with some honey.

Had another curry feast last night,a few pics...






Everything went down a treat as usual.I still can't believe just how good my naan breads are using Chris's recipe,they come out superb.I did peshwari and chilli keema naans.I was a bit worried that the keema mix wouldn't cook properly but I have to say they came out perfect.
