I followed Rob's previous post. He used this shatkora recipe from cook 4 one. I made their spice mix and used c2g 3litre base.

Thanks UB, I just tried to place the order, but as this sale is going through an amazon partner, they don't ship outside UK :-(

Made a pot of base sauce (c2g 3litre version) but it didn't came out exactly well. The main reason being that the base was on the pressure cooker for over 1h10 and I still didn't get the "smell" as per Julian. I think that I might try it again another time, but if I am hoping for a trusty base, then taz will be the choice, or even darthphall, but there is still a lot to try (CA's, chewytikka, C46, KD1, dipuraja's and certainly the list goes on.)

I finished the last laddle trying the bombay potatoes (pre-cooked with CBM's tips) and one of my favorites: chicken tikka shatkora.



The result wasn't anywhere near my reference curries, but I wouldn't complain if I'd get this from a TA. Sorry for the usua awkward picture, but I always remember the shot a bit too late.  The potatoes were not very well cooked, sadly. I also think I need to master the art of seasoning with salt, as I always put too little or too much. This time it was too little.

I got myself a bag of grounded jaggery. When I open the bag, it has a bit of a vinegar/cheesy like aroma. Is this ok?

I bought myself some jaggery yesterday in a foil-sealed jar; on opening there was neither a vinegary nor a cheesy aroma, and on tasting the jaggery I think would have been unable to say in a blind tasting whether I was eating jaggery or muscovado sugar.

** Phil.

Thanks, with regards to the smell, I think it may be different to vinegar or cheese. I just can't describe it any better. I tried it and it's quite sweet, so it's OK,

haha, I just woke up and I'm getting ready to go out and grab the missing root!

Wow! His fingers look like ETs!

So can anyone play this?  He looks like a muppet, but plays like someone from another planet. Check out the unearthly activities around 4.20!!   

Definitely can't play like him (shred is not my biz, to be honest) but would very much like to play like

Thanks RubyDoo. I'm just wondering, could I use c2g base - the 7 litre pressure cooker recipe and reduce the number of onions slightly only to fit my 6litre pressure cooker?

of course just scale it down but do you then have a 12 litre pot to expand into? Otherwise you need more pots on the go. That is why I do a 3 litrevish load in a 7 l cooker 

Ah, I completely forgot the bit where you expand it! 3 litre it is then ;-) thanks for all the help here and privately RubyDoo!

Just as I was about to start putting everything together to make the c2g base gravy, I realized I didn't have ginger. Someone threw my last (moderated)  root of ginger out. Holocaust doesn't even begin to describe what's going on through my mind!! 

And now that the pressure has been vented, let's make this the official venting/moaning thread.

I play that just as a warm up before the real stuff 
Excellent, that man got talent

Not trying to take credit off him, but because I've seen a friend do a similar techno-like song on guitar workshop in lisbon several years ago, it didn't really make me wow.
