Quote from: cg13 on March 31, 2008, 06:38 PMcan you give me some advice when it comes to cooking spices what is the best way to bring out the flavours

has been discussed a few times look through here

A quick search gave me this but dont know if its any good?

Hi smirch,

what sort of curry are you looking for? - madras perhaps?

how involved do want to get? - most BIR currys req a base gravy which will make liters of the stuff.

click for a quick curry for two

click for a more BIR style

hope that helps, UB.

Hi UB

Today I are be mostly making kebabs

Blades Chicken tikka, crispy lettuce, onion, tomato, chilli and tamarind sauce, garlic & onion dip and lovely homemade naans....Washed down with an ice cold glass of Staropramen or Budvar, home made mango and pineapple smoothies for the bratz

We've had a curry 3 times this week already

Mmmmm....So wheres my invite? 

Hi cg13,

cool  ;D great pic! did you make em in your tandoor?

No, this was on the tava
There is something about the tava's cooking simplicity that I love
I must use it more
The only other thing I cook on it is chapattis
How about you?

only naans really, i really want to get a tandoor - im gonna try and make one this summer all-though i think this recipe would probably explode in a tandoor because of all rising agents 

cool  ;D great pic! i rub my hands in oil to separate the dough then use a little flour to get the desired shape too. did you make em in your tandoor?
