rsaha's South Indian Style Chana Masala

Post by rsaha »

I thought I'd start a thread to drop pics as I take them if that's OK.

A South Indian style chana masala.

Looking good, rsaha. Love the depth of focus.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Very good lighting.
"Perfect" would have some steam coming off it (just drop a ladle of boiling water onto it prior to taking the shot).
I do like the way you have oriented the bowl to show the imperfections (light patches) and pulled the focus but left the other items tantalizingly in reach but in the background.

A curry can never be ‘too garlicky’ or ‘too hot’ .....

GB and Westy - thanks:-)

ScotchBonnet - I shoot now for a blog and steam isn't something that gets you points I'm afraid - although I totally see where you are coming from.

CA - it was tasty - done South Indian style and heavy on the chopped onions and with curry leaves but not BIR (although it does use your spice mix #2 - as always thank you for that). It's not one that's posted here. It's one of mine done for my blog. I was thinking that, as this part of the forum is open to browsers that it would be a good place to put enticing photos to get people interested. I will follow this up with BIR dishes - this one just happened to get published today. Is that OK?
