I quite like upping the heat in my bhuna with some fresh chillies to give it some kick. I may try mixing a madras and bhuna recipe to see how that works out.

What I've yet to really do, is master a good garlic chilli chicken.

Superb... see.. contrast is win here

darker curry against light background, really pops. Awesome stuff

What makes the first and last pics is contrast. The food and the background separate nicely.

The middle pic which you found less successful there's very little contrast between the food and the background.

very well done indeed... cook book worthy!

Presentation is excellent here! i really must try making the Bhaji's again, they were excellent the last time i tried!

The rice looks excellent

Those look outstanding, the texture looks utterly superb. Makes me realise I still have a lot to learn.

Yours actually!

Smokey deliciousness! Possibly the best curry ever to grace this house, from takeaway or made by me! The chicken was juicy, soft and smokey, the charcoal hint not lost in the rich sauce, really nailed a smokey layer through the dish that was utterly moreish! The curry itself was hot but balanced, sw...

I think being cooked over hot coals in a clay bowl, is likely to give the meat a 1980's tandoor feel

My Other halfs family were over at the weekend and had hired a barbecue hut near where I live. I dutifully prepared a large batch of my Chicken Tikka, enough so that there would be some left!

Never occurred to me to look for a keema recipe!

I ended up just making it up!

I do like a keema dosa though

Hi all Recipes in most cases were yours RS. Bhuna, CTM and saag aloo. Albeit I now Make all of them with slight tweaks for my taste preferences. My own base gravy and happychris naans as per usual! The onion salad is also my own combo. Just a little sugar, salt, lemon dressing and mint. CA I really ...

I also made curried sausage rolls the night before for snacks!

It was your original recipe

I like the complexity of it

Lidl had some diced chicken reduced and I knew I had a little yogurt left over so the inevitable happened!
Achari was RSHome123s recipe, westys simple pilau and happy Chris naan!

My meal is very much the combined experience and knowledge of this forum crafted into a tasty treat

Merry Christmas to all!

Well I have your base (slightly modded) to thank for it

Merry Christmas from Dalry mate

The tikka is my own variation on a few recipes. I tend to just do it by eye! Like base gravy I don't think ultimately exact measurements matter all that much in tikka. Marinade for 30 mins in lemon dressing and G&G paste. Then add a good tablespoon of tandoori masala, a tsp of mix powder, some m...
