this is identical to the curry2go version and is a replica of our local bir. I prefer a bit of a kick so add a tsp of kashmiri mirch to a pot. Lovely!

As I seem to get through never ending amounts of yogurt I bought an easiyo. So what I do now is when there is only a tbsp of yogurt left I dump it in the easiyo fill up with milk and leave overnight. Next morning I have 1L of fresh yogurt.

Top bit of kit.

I freeze my base in 6x4 zip lock bags. Re-useable, easy to defrost and can get more in the freezer drawer. 1 bag is just a bit more than a tin takeaway container.

I cheat and use a burger press to make my bhaji'. They all come out uniform and are just 'fat' enough to cook through and not be doughy inside.

cheap as chips from lakeland and dead handy for shami kebabs as well no to mention burgers!

Hi

Never had pakora with breadcrumbs as usually made with a gram flour based batter where i have had it from. The chicken is tikka goujon style.  one of my faves!

Barry

same. I'll make a captain Birdseye style breaded version next time to try.

i always buy a case of un-frozen skinless breasts from the wholesaler, last one was ?35 for the case which was around 45+ large breasts. No added water either. a LOT cheaper and better quality than the supermarket.

Ask your local butcher where he buys them from and go direct. I use the same for a whole lamb or pig.
