And so, onto the leftovers for brunch today!

Spurred on by the recent tandoori chop topics posted by Unclefrank and Chewytikka, I dug out my chops from the freezer and got to work.

Unfortunately for me, I managed to defrost the pork chops instead of the lamb, but hey ho! - onwards and upwards!

I was intrigued by Chewy's Aloo Bhorta, so after discovering it was a sort of spicy, mashed potato side dish, I checked out a few recipes and settled on one by Shanaz Rafiq.

Not owning a tandoor, the chops were fired on the charcoal BBQ before hitting the plate with the Aloo Bhorta, side salad and Naga pickle. Very nice indeed. I never got around to making Unclefrank's suggested nargis kebabs - but I will! - and thanks to Chewy, I've discovered a new and delicious side dish.

Off topic...

And a very excellent recipe it is too, Stephen! It's been my standard since you published it and is widely admired by both family and friends - in fact, I just made it again at the weekend for a dinner party!

On topic...

Nice one Naga i usually have a nargis kebab with them also.

I missed this post at the time. Just looked up some recipes and I'll give this a go - sounds good!

Looks great, Chewy! The recent posts of tandoori meats inspired me to go out and buy a load of chops. The marinade will be sorted later today!

PS: I also take your point in the other recent thread about 1970s-style food. Your photos above (and many other of your previous foodie photos) are illustrative of new ways to serve modern dishes using well-established recipes and techniques. Indian food doesn't just need to be about curry, rice and naan - although, nothing wrong with that either! When my stretch was still beans-on-toast, I was a big fan of Vesta Paella and Vesta Chow Mein with Crispy Noodles!

Welcome, Stuart! Plenty here to keep you cooking for a lifetime!

I'm just imagining 2 fried eggs and some black pudding with a couple of those chops. Yum!

That curry really looks delicious!

Now that looks a proper curry, Andy!
