Great looking mouth watering curry
Cor wish we could get hold of some mutton/lamb cheaper here

best, Rich

Good effort Solarsplace
Just watched the vid nowt wrong there!!! I would have put the prawns in a little later towards the end of cooking - they dont take long to cook and dont absorb any of the flavour of a dish as such - not like meat will take it on - it also keeps them succulent

great loved it

Hey Phil
SWMBO is 75% Chinese, 25% Vietnamese, but as she was born in Vietnam thinks of herself as Vietnamese.

What a great combination!!! Good food i bet

My one is  Thai and for a little thing she can certainly boil over at times!!!!!! but never complains about the curry mess that i try to clean up - she always follows on to make sure its clean - especially if ive cooked in the house kitchen - that seems to be her room, which im grateful for!! Thats NOT chauvinistic by the way.

Asian women who have NOT been bombarded to the western womans way of thinking - DO NOT  think twice about their roll in a family they just get on and do it - brilliant!!

Any good Vietnamese recipes???

Hey Terramamba
great link to the South Devon Chili Farm and their products - the chilies must grow really well there.

The teracotta will stand up fine just keep it dry,
Ive made a couple now but the british damp weather does take its toll and now take ages to get it propper hot

The INSPIRATION for this project actually came from your build UB and CBM's - Mick's gas fitting's on his tandoor - i know im so close to India but for the life of me i cant get hold of a Tandoor that is why im making a couple

So thank you - you two guy's

Those three pots look really excellent. Whoever made them did a first class job by the look of it. Was that ?20 each or ?20 for all three? Your diagram for the stainless steel chamber looks spot on. Will you be adding vermiculite or something as an insulator?

Cheers George

I do need some insulation of some type but having a hell of a job trying to find any - the chamber might even be square if its easier

27 squid all 3 mate ( including some stainless steel rod ) - I hope to complete the job in the next couple of weeks

Thanks for the link ELW
I was thinking of making it a bit more portable the same as you can buy in the UK


best, Rich

Sounds like a fantastic present

I'm wondering with these tandoors if they should have been made out of a different clay?? but having never made one before ive no idea - i did find another little place that makes fire bricks so if they fail it could be a trip to get the fire clay and take it to the potters and get them to make another

best, Rich

CH that was an idea i had when i had these made (ship to the UK) but they havent been tested yet so i dont know how they will go

best, Rich

Hi Steve

Im in Thailand mate - i had them made up at a little kiln i found - to be honest ive no idea what is going to happen!!
I would think i will have to surround them in something then encase them - the problem ive had before is the temperature getting too hot and yes these would crack i reckon - mind you at 20 squid is worth a go! i know the gas fittings are about 15 squid but im trying to get one which is semi auto - ie you turn a knob and it ignites the flame

The holes were made at the time of making
