Hi Abdul,

My preffered BIR curry along with Mrs moony is a lamb ceylon, if you have a recipe, please post it.

I am pleased you have posted your 8 spice and gravy recipe to this forum, this will most definatley prompt other members who have yet to buy your book, to try the handi curry, although it is a more traditional dish and exactly how i have it before ,if not better off my bangladeshi friends, it really does make an excellent alternative to BIR.

Regards,

Alan ;D

Coogan,

That looks amazing. Great effort as well.

Where did you get the recipe from? Or is it your own?

Will give this a try soon

alan ;D

Abdul,

Thank you for posting this recipe.

I made everything to spec other than not adding the saktora and also replacing the 3 green chillies in the main dish with a tablespoon of kasmiri chilli powder.

For the chicken i went with 1.2kg on the bone and 1kg of chicken fillet for Mrs moony

This produced a delicious medium strength curry with a good spice blend and texture.

The chicken was simply outstanding and would highly recommend other CRO members to try this recipe in particular with the chicken on the bone.

If like me, you are not sure how to cut the full chicken up, just ask the Halal butcher to cut it up ready for a curry, it literally takes them seconds.

Abdul,

I have been and got my whole chicken and all the other ingrediants, but i could not get the sakora anywhere from my local asian shops.

Is there an alternative i could use or will it make little difference if its not included.

In the meantime i am going to knock up your gravy recipe.

Alan ;D

Just recieved your book Abdul thank you for the prompt delivery, am I correct in assuming i use the gravy sauce and spice mix out of the book.


Alan ;D

Excellent stuff Abdul. Chicken on the bone recipes in my experiance are really tasty.

Before I try this recipe would it be possible for the gravy recipe you used for this dish and also the spice mix you used.

Thanks Alan

Very good chewy would love to see it in action live.

Also did you notice the proportions of garlic and ginger are opposite to what we use, they are using 65% Ginger and 35% garlic.

Alan

I agree beer should always be drunk whilst cooking a curry. But that on your table mate is closer to being rocket fuel than beer ;D

Welcome BTW

Alan ;D

I didnt realise that Paul, maybe it will be best to see what raymondo says.

Alan ;D

Ray,

That looks more or less the same as the one I got from not so Amazon, at triple the price .

Nice find mate, patientce is a virtue, which is sadly something i lack.

Paul i would purchase the same one as Razor, I cant see how there will be any difference in performance from the one i bought to Rays purchase.
