Great photo, Rusty. Did the plant survive the curry fumes?

Re: January 2017 - British Indian 2 go Vindaloo

That was a great idea to go for the KP's there, Mrs GB can't abide the things so the closest I ever get to any is photos on the forum here :cry:: Hope the cold gets better soon, Alchy. I forgot to mention that I also went straight in at 2 TSP of sugar, while at face value that seems too much it work...

Re: Cure for the common cold

Hope the man flu gets better soon edwin, in the GB household we use that remedy frequently (with some medicinal Scotch as a chaser in particularly bad cases). The hotter the curry, the better :thumbup:

Re: January 2017 - British Indian 2 go Vindaloo

Many years ago, when Austin Allegro's were still occasionally seen on British roads, I used to have a regular Monday night ritual to help me cope with my first day back on the working week. My friend John and I would take turns to buy 2 beef or lamb Phal's and lots of Naan bread from the local India...

Beautiful colours there, rshome123. My meat is currently pre-cooking, so won't be long until I follow in your footsteps.

Re: Dipuraja's Recipe Index

Edwin,

Think this is because the thread has been temporarily relocated under Curry Club for December (See viewtopic.php?f=205&t=6929).

Alchy, is that the case or am I just wittering?

Re: Issue 2 - December 2016

MalNealon, Thanks for your encouragement and apologies for any errors. I'll put these down to typos rather than spelling mistakes as I have got to save face somehow. Thinking about it, It really should be "baby" phal with quotes, but this would deprive TikkaTom of the opportunity of making...

Re: December 2016 - Dipuraja's Chicken Tikka Biryani

I have a love hate relationship with rice. Perfectly cooked, with a good sauce based dish, it is the food of the gods. Badly cooked, and no matter how well the sauce or accompaniment may be, it will be a distraction, a thorn in the flesh of the final dish. A lot of this is down to the fact as a chef...

Apologies for that, the thought of a spam curry doesn't exactly inspire me, but no doubt someone here will have concocted one :laugh: You should be able to allow emails from this site to pass through to your inbox if your spam filter is a tad over enthusiastic.

Re: November 2016 - steveparadox's Aloo Chaat

I wonder sometimes if I have some sort of masochistic gene, or potentially some long term psychological childhood damage that causes me to follow the most difficult and arduous path. Here in Cumbria, we have the most incredible scenery and walking country, a landscape that is ideal for adventurous c...

Having spent a good amount of time going through all my spices and every cupboard in the kitchen etc. last night I discovered my 1/2 used packet of chat masala is formally missing in action. All is not lost though, if you have enough spices, you can make it yourself - I will be using the recipe gonc...

Chris, I hope you printed off the PDF and left it on the seat to spread the word about the forum to other commuters :D Apologies though, I really should have credited you specifically for the photography (as others).
