Chicken Dopiaza
I used a recipe out of a book by well known BIR curry addict.

Lamb Biriani served with a vegetable curry.

Biriani posted on the forum.

I made the pilao rice somewhat special by adding saffron crumbled in warm milk & added to the rice.

The lamb was left over from the Raan we had for Christmas dinner.

An outrageously hot Naga Jolokia Phal

[Alpha1]

Looks scrumptious. Yum Yum.

[Cory Ander]

Looks awesome, Westy, plenty of oil to dip one's naan into! Is the stem from a dried bhut jolokia chilli? Is the recipe posted on the forum? Here, perhaps?

5 down and only 5 more entrants to go (before we will announce a winner)! Anybody else up for winning a fiver (or 6 months free membership).....?

[Alpha1]

Some yummy looking dishes come on guys how difficult is it to post a picture of your latest creation.

[Cory Ander]

Very easy, now that you don't even have to re-size your image! Simply upload your photo, directly as an attachment from your mobile/device! (using drag and drop, if you like).

See How to Post Attachments & Photos for further information

[Westy]

Is the stem from a dried bhut jolokia chilli? Is the recipe posted on the forum? Here, perhaps?

Yes, there was a whole Bhut Jolokia in there plus the Tblsp of Bhut Jolokia powder. The whole chilli melted into the sauce a little as it cooked - I had ‘reconstituted’ it in the base overnight before making up the curry, otherwise it may have held up better. The recipe is posted here.

[Cory Ander]

Still waiting for (at least) 5 more entrants before we declare a winner.......anyone? It's not hard!

[Cory Ander]

Thanks for your entry, Qprhoop

I have taken the liberty of adding links to your post since your curries are made from recipes posted on this forum (which is a relevant consideration when declaring a winner) and for members who might like to try making them.
